Replying to Marilyn Gladu (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I am happy about the parliamentary secretary’s passion for culture across the country. For example, on September 15 to 20 next year, the international plowing match is coming to Sarnia—Lambton-Bkejwanong. If anyone has not experienced this kind of agricultural culture, they need to be there. The question I have for my hon. colleague is this: Can he expound on the many ways in which our government is promoting and supporting culture across the country and in Quebec?”
