Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I listened to the question on culture. It has been mentioned a couple of times, and I'm always amazed that we still have parliamentarians who don't have faith in Canadian culture. We heard the fear-mongering when we signed the free trade agreement with the United States. We were going to become Americanized. We were going to be absolutely bulldozed by American culture, and that didn't happen.
Now we're signing an agreement with an organization of states that has 27 member states. They have over a hundred languages. They have probably as many distinct cultures, and somehow they're going to overwhelm us. I would expect that the Europeans would be more afraid that they may become Canadianized.
