Thank you for the question.
The cultural sector is obviously very important to this agreement as well. We were restricted under the original TPP agreement. We were unable to implement any policies that would be discriminatory against foreign service providers or investors, in terms of developing Canadian cultural content. The other restriction that was in part of the original agreement had to do with restricting foreign access to online programming and the digital requirement. Through the cultural side letter that we signed with all parties, we removed those two restrictions.
At present, we don't implement policies in Canada that are discriminatory against foreign providers, nor do we tax foreign providers over and above what we do to Canadian providers, in terms of funding Canadian content in the cultural environment, but we wanted to maintain that policy flexibility, given the uncertainty of the future in this digital environment. Through the side letters, we now have reserved that right to impose those discriminatory practices, if we feel it is to the benefit of the Canadian cultural community.
