I would point out, once again, paraphrasing Quebec's Minister of Tourism, Mr. Bachand, that this would be an emergency measure and not a permanent one. Given the stakes involved for Quebec, we would be showing a lack of understanding of the cultural and artistic reality and the associated economic benefits by disregarding this urgency and the fact that Quebec's National Assembly voted unanimously in favour of such a measure.
I think that everyone, on all sides, has given his or her opinion. Consequently, I do not believe that we should dwell any further on the issue. I am therefore asking for a recorded vote on the issue.
Thank you.
