Mr. Speaker, the Toronto Star reported this morning that, through some strange coincidence, the Minister of Canadian Heritage happened to be in Edgar Bronfman's suite in Los Angeles when Seagram took control of MCA studios. Following this transaction, Seagram will have to secure Investment Canada's approval before it can also get the Canadian subsidiary, the movie theatre chain Cineplex Odeon, out of the deal.
My question, which is quite simple, is the following: Can the Prime Minister explain to us what business a minister of his government had in Edgar Bronfman's suite, when Investment Canada will have a very important decision to make regarding this transaction?
