Thank you for your question. It's actually an extremely important question.
If we want to continue introducing bills to protect and promote our cultural industry, we basically have to have the mechanisms we need to do so. We therefore needed a cultural exemption clause in the agreement renegotiated with the United States and Mexico.
I'll tell you a secret, but don't repeat it to anyone: it's not always easy to negotiate with the Americans. I would say the negotiations were quite tough right to the end. They would have cut that clause if they could. However, the Prime Minister was extremely clear on that point. You no doubt had an opportunity to hear him or see him on the subject. It was a red line that couldn't be crossed from start to finish, and it was precisely his determination that enabled us to get this carve-out, which is an interpretive clause under which culture is exempted from the treatment accorded other products in the agreement signed with the United States and Mexico.
This means we can develop our industry and pass laws and regulations that safeguard and promote our culture without anyone being able to prohibit it under the agreement. This special clause applies to and takes precedence over the entire agreement.
