Mr. Speaker, I am not in the habit of seeking briefings on the heritage minister's meetings.
Let me advise the hon. member that this infamous luncheon she is making a great deal of seemed to have quite a few people at it who are associated with a variety of companies in the Los Angeles area. Yes, Mr. Karp was present, as were officials from Canada. Also present were Mr. Jack Valenti of the Motion Picture Association of America; Lew Wasserman, chairman of the board of Music Corporation of America, Universal; Sid Scheinberg of Music Corporation of America, Universal; Bill Baker of Motion Picture Association of America, and on it goes. There were quite a lot of people at this secret meeting to somehow influence the decision of Investment Canada.
These allegations are really not worthy of the hon. member.
