That is why in 2008, when the economy took a turn for the worst, when the global economy was at its worst and when every other country in the world was making cuts to arts and culture, we took a different path because we understood then, as we understand today, how important it was to protect and enhance that community, which gives us so much pride.
Voilà pourquoi, après que la situation économique s'est détériorée, en 2008, au pire de la crise économique mondiale, pendant que tous les autres pays sabraient l'enveloppe des arts et de la culture, nous avons choisi de faire les choses autrement.
