To be perfectly honest, I'm a bit surprised. The meeting is less than a week away. It's actually happening next Wednesday. I can't believe you haven't had a chance to fully develop Canada's position on the issue. I'm really surprised that you're telling me the truth when you say that you don't have an answer.
People in the culture sector are anxious. We spoke to them yesterday, and I think a number of them are optimistic, but they are very nervous nevertheless. We are talking about a protocol that is essential to protect cultural industries in Quebec, given its cultural distinctiveness, and in other jurisdictions. Europe is supportive, from what I've heard.
I think it would be very reassuring for you to confirm here and now that you intend to support the potential protocol and help develop it as quickly as possible so it can be implemented in 2027. A lot of people would be happy to hear you take a firmer stance than that this morning, Mr. Miller.
