The Canadian arts and culture sector generates $85 billion per year in revenues. In 2008 the Conference Board of Canada calculated this at 7% of Canada's GDP. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3743982\" data-originallang=\"en\">Statistics Canada reported in 2005\u2014we don't have the updated statistics\u2014that Canadians spend twice as much on live performing arts, $1.4 billion, as they do on sports. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3743983\" data-originallang=\"en\">Over the past two years the Quebec Community Groups Network has identified arts and culture as an important factor in community development. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3743984\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Department of Canadian Heritage's recent review of support for OLMCs decided that the program would prioritize sustained actions in three key areas for community vitality: actions aimed at youth, arts, culture and heritage, and media and communications. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3743985\" data-originallang=\"en\">Artists make an important contribution to identity and vitality for the English-speaking community, and they make an important contribution to dialogue with the linguistic majority. Arts and culture can also be an important factor in our communities' economic development.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3743986\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you.</p>",
