Mr. Speaker, the hon. member's performance is reminiscent of the best horror movies.
What the Minister of Canadian Heritage was doing in Los Angeles was defending and promoting the interests of the film industry in Canada. I have always said that content was important on the information highway, and I am responsible for promoting that content.
In the past few months I conducted extensive consultations with the industries concerned in Canada, and our conclusion was that it was advisable to meet the main competitors and also to look into opportunities for co-operation. That is what I did when I went to Los Angeles.
I may add that I never was in the suite next door to a certain gentleman referred to by the hon. member.
