Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for the question. I think I misspoke. The fact is that the terms that were made public will be that of the commission. The minister won't modify them. So the independence aspect comes from the fact that each one of you will be able to monitor the commission and ensure

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for bringing that issue to our attention. We will pass it along to the minister.

Canadian Heritage committee  Thank you for the question. Actually, that requirement was already part of our contribution agreements for this year. It's already a funding requirement for the organizations. They wouldn't be able to get funding otherwise.

Canadian Heritage committee  Yes, it's part of our funding agreement this year.
