Canadian Heritage committee  We have all said that we have nothing against these subsidies and an extension of the funding. We are in complete agreement with that. As for digital, there is no problem. Nevertheless, why do away with this subsidy for specialized recording, which is so important? Why eliminate this small amount?

Canadian Heritage committee  No.
