Mr. Speaker, let me help the hon. member to understand the process that is being invoked here.
The public servant in question does not work either for Investment Canada or for Industry Canada. Until it is determined that Seagram is not a Canadian company, there is in fact no role to be played by the Department of Canadian Heritage in the matter.
If Seagram is a Canadian company, the transaction is not reviewable by Investment Canada. As far as I can tell, the consequence of that would simply be that the sequel to "Jurassic Park", which I know is one of the hon. member's favourite movies, could perhaps qualify for the Oscar for best foreign film.
