Mr. Speaker, my question is for the acting Prime Minister. The American Trade Secretary, Mickey Cantor, said yesterday that culture was like VCRs, they are not banned in the United States for being made abroad.
Also, Mr. Kantor announced yesterday to the world that the United States was going to fight the Canadian act which levies a tax on split run editions, an act which was passed, you will recall, with the Bloc Quebecois' support since it deals with protecting our cultural institutions.
With regard to Sports Illustrated , is the government committed not to renegotiate downwards the cultural sovereignty of Canada and Quebec?
