Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have a number of issues under this activity. I would like to start by thanking the Minister and his department for the work they have done with the museum in Fort Smith, trying to resolve their situation there. It is greatly appreciated by the community.

I also fully support the work being done with libraries. I think the arrangement made with the Gates Foundation is a good one. We will provide support to community libraries which have faced their own funding crunch over the years. Mr. Chairman, I do have some questions. I do not think this one has been touched on, but it is an issue of languages.

According to the figures provided, there was a lapse of over $300,000, almost 40 percent of the language bureau. I was wondering if the Minister could elaborate on the reason for that, and indicate the plans to deal with what is going to happen in the coming year to ensure that all these language funds are spent as the money is voted. Thank you.
