        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1629032\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We are asking that the Council's funding be increased to $300 million. That is what was promised in 2006. Every time someone says that the government is cutting cultural programs, it says that, on the contrary, it is allocating more to other programs. Would it not be easier to say that you need $350 million by 2011, 2012 or 2013, and that 20% of that amount would be allocated to international programs and 10% to other programs?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1629033\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why not ask the government to turn over responsibility for these programs to you instead of asking for $12 million here, $13 million there, $300 million there.</p>",

Chaque fois qu'on dit que le gouvernement coupe dans les programmes culturels, ce dernier dit que ce n'est pas le cas, qu'il augmente d'autres programmes. Ne serait-il pas plus facile de dire qu'on a besoin de 350 millions de dollars d'ici 2011, 2012 ou 2013, et que 20 p. 100 de cette somme soit consacr\u00e9e aux programmes internationaux et 10 p. 100 \u00e0 d'autres programmes?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1629033\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On pourrait demander au gouvernement de nous donner le rendement ou la comptabilit\u00e9 de ces programmes, au lieu de demander 12, 13 ou 300 millions ici et l\u00e0.</p>"
