Mr. Chairman, I have had the discussion with the ECE Minister, and I think Mr. Braden remembers that he did, in the House, make the commitment to bring that group back together. Let me say that the feedback we've been receiving from the arts community related to arts and fine crafts is that the commitments, we're fulfilling the initiatives that we've undertaken, are well supported. There seems to be some concern and some need for more dialogue around performing arts, which really is part of the ECE piece on this. Having said that, we're still, obviously, prepared to be involved in those discussions going forward with ECE. It's important for the two of us to work closely together, and we are fully committed to coming back and having further dialogue with the arts community. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
