Canadian Heritage committee Yes; I was at the Shanghai expo. My understanding is that this was one of the program cuts that was made, the funding for the international exposition.

Canadian Heritage committee I believe the committee had asked, at one of the previous meetings they had, for a split of the appropriated revenues versus the commercially generated revenues. A table was provided to the committee. That's the table that I have been reading off. It was in response to a question

Canadian Heritage committee The challenge with 2014-15 is that there are estimates. The actual advertising revenues will not be known until the end of the year. For 2014-15 it shows, in terms of that, that 39.3% is the commercial revenue the CBC is generating and 60.7% is the appropriated revenues from the

Canadian Heritage committee I can't, actually. What's remarkable, I guess, is that often these initiatives start in one jurisdiction and it's difficult to have them scale elsewhere; there are barriers.

Canadian Heritage committee I think it's a great suggestion. Maybe to help us in that, I'm delighted that we've convinced Andrew Campbell to come over from Parks Canada to help us with the work on 2017. It was among Andrew's responsibilities at Parks Canada to help manage the team that ultimately found the

Canadian Heritage committee It doesn't reflect a cut in operating funds. It's the two capital projects, in both cases, that are coming off high. In the case of the Museum of History, the Canada Hall was a major capital project. That is, the expenditures were higher in the previous years and are coming down

That will be allocated between the major museums. That's an incremental amount coming in that's addressing some of those additional capital asks

Canadian Heritage committee That was the other investment. The payment in lieu of taxes, which is a payment made to municipalities in lieu of taxes, hasn't been increased since authorities were transferred to the museum. Although their tax payments have increased, the government allocation to the museums
