Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague for Medicine Hat in a sense has misconstrued or has deliberately altered my presentation. I did not state the free trade deal was to destroy the magazine industry in Canada. I said the presentations being made by members of the Reform Party, especially by the member for Medicine Hat, with all the attributes and perceptions that were sort of misguided, would result in the death knell of the magazine industry. I was criticizing, debating and discussing the presentations of the members of the Reform Party versus the stability, sustainability and health of the magazine industry in Canada.
In the House of Commons on September 25th, 1995. See this statement in context.
