Mr. Speaker, in the short time remaining I am not able to give an extensive answer to the hon. member's question. However, the member well knows that what seems on the surface a contradiction in public policy often reflects that different situations call for different measures.
To suggest the magazine industry is in all respects exactly the same as the broadcasting industry would be wrong. We have learned through watching what takes place at the heritage committee that with the new information highway the print media, books, film, radio and television all require quite different solutions. However, ultimately it is the same principle, to guarantee a healthy industry in Canada. That is the principle by which the government operates. We want a healthy industry, whether broadcasting, books or magazines. To get that healthy industry we will have to adopt different measures in different fields. That is the reason for the difference.
