Mr. Speaker, artists and creatives are deeply underfunded in my community and much of the gap is federal. While Waterloo region received just over $3 a person from the Canada Council for the Arts last year, other communities received up to $21 a person. It adds up to a $13-million gap last year alone. This gap has real implications. The KW Symphony filed for bankruptcy last year and THEMUSEUM is in dire straits. Will the Minister of Heritage commit to working with all interested MPs to ensure all regions get their fair share of federal arts funds?
