A quick round up of response to yesterday’s federal budget

Response and reaction to yesterday’s federal budget, and its implications for the cultural sector, have combined congratulations, appreciation, relief and regret. This post provides a quick round up.

Not surprisingly, the decision to sustain the investment in the Canada Council for the Arts is welcomed.

Museums are pleased as well, particularly around the news that the budget strengthens the Canada Travelling Exhibitions Indemnification Program and maintains funding to national museums.

On the other hand, there is regret about reductions to agencies like Telefilm and the CBC.
