Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my honourable colleagues for their support. The department is also proposing a strategy for equitable distribution of funding and services to heritage projects. This strategy will establish criteria for contributions in five areas: capital contributions for heritage centre, core funding for the operation of heritage centres, capital contributions for heritage projects, capital contributions for territorial heritage buildings and grants for special heritage projects.

The department is also proposing a set of guidelines to administer the funding programs identified.

---Applause
