Even though artists have been able to demonstrate their past cost-effectiveness, programs to promote culture abroad have not been re-established, to the bitter disappointment of the arts community. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1260850\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As Stanley P\u00e9an, the head of the Union des \u00e9crivaines et \u00e9crivains qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, puts it, the message sent by last fall's artists' protests did not get through. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1260851\" data-originallang=\"fr\">What explanation can the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages give for this budget containing nothing for the promotion of culture abroad? </p>",
