Canadian Heritage committee  Minister Joly has recently met with stakeholders in Quebec and they had a discussion about the proposals submitted. The project is being studied and we can assure you that we are taking it very seriously and we want to provide an answer as soon as possible. We must also consider the Canada 150 activities.

Canadian Heritage committee  The $194 million you mentioned refers to the grants and contributions programs. You have to add another $12 million approximately in operating costs associated with Sport Canada. That gives you your total budget in the main estimates for the coming year.

Canadian Heritage committee  The fiscal framework.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you. I'm told that I'm not supposed to talk about the Habs because there are some Bruins fans in the room. Hockey Canada will be celebrating its 100th anniversary, so there will be a number of events that will take place. They are actually already taking place, and this includes a travel exhibition, a school program, the production of a special patch for hockey jerseys, a gala and a concert, and various other activities.

Canadian Heritage committee  This is equivalent to an endowment, where we will provide funding that the organizers, the holders of the facilities, will have to maintain in perpetuity.

Canadian Heritage committee  There are three facilities, where we will be negotiating legacy agreements to ensure that funding will be available in perpetuity to maintain those facilities and to provide access to Canadians to continue to develop sports way after the games. The three legacy facilities are the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Aquatics Centre and Field House at the Scarborough campus of the University of Toronto, the Cisco Milton Pan Am/Parapan Am Velodrome, and the CIBC Pan Am/ Parapan Am Athletic Stadium at York University.
