Mr. Speaker, I am truly delighted that the Bloc is taking such an interest in Canada's identity and cultural situation. I find myself lacking considerable sympathy with the member for Medicine Hat who seems to think our cultural industries can survive entirely on their own. I wish I could ask him whether or not he has bought a Canadian book recently but I do not have that opportunity.
My question to the hon. member opposite is this. In the context of the powerful cultural invasion from the United States does she feel that we are better off, both anglophones and francophones, united against cultural aggression from the United States rather than separate?
