Mr. Speaker, despite those fine words the government is moving toward a policy of protectionism in the cultural industry.
Cultural industries will be at the top of the American president's agenda when he visits this week. By closing our borders, the government has started a potential trade war with the United States. What form this retaliation will take will be announced by Mickey Kantor on March 6.
When the government meets with Mr. Clinton, will it announce what areas of Canadian trade it is willing to sacrifice to keep up this charade of cultural preservation?
