Mr. Speaker, I am not the manager of the CDIC. I do not have the financial skills to take on that job. Moreover, I do not think it is up to the Minister of Heritage to start doing some advertising outside his field.
My area of responsibility is Canadian cultural policy. Regarding this matter, I have stated clearly on several occasions that I consider Ginn to be an exception. While admittedly this may not have been a particularly fortunate transaction, the policy itself is sound. It calls for supporting and protecting the Canadian cultural industry, including the publishing industry.
