Mr. Speaker, there has been no change in government policy. Certainly the government wants to continue to promote Canadian culture both in the domestic sense and on the international stage. In fact, over the last few years Canada's exports in terms of its cultural sector have grown enormously. It is now a $3 billion industry.
Times have changed, and so I have raised some questions with respect to how we go about continuing in our promotion of culture, particularly in the context of trade and globalization.
Certainly the Minister of Canadian Heritage and I are working together to ensure that the government continues to promote the cultural product of this country, of all parts of this country.
