Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
Earlier today the task force on the Canadian magazine industry released its report and recommended that those foreign magazines already operating split runs should be exempted from the proposed excise tax.
This would mean that Sports Illustrated which knowingly broke Canadian regulations last year would be rewarded with a permanent exemption from the law.
Will the minister rise in his place today and announce that his government will totally reject this recommendation of the task force?
