A couple excerpts:

"It's a huge part of our GDP. It's twice the size of all those who work solely in agriculture. It's three times the size of our forest industry. So it's a huge part of our economy and most importantly, in my view, is that arts and culture is about improving the quality of life of Canadians," Moore said.

Moore said Trade Routes will not be reinstated, but that the government "agrees with the goals" of the program and will consider other options.

Quite a change in tone from our government!
