Canadian Heritage committee It will be done in steps. We already have a 1-800 line and a Web site. In the next few weeks, we should be launching an advertising campaign.

Canadian Heritage committee Merci beaucoup, monsieur le président. In front of you, ladies and gentlemen, you should have a dark blue covered deck.
