Mr. Speaker, it is always interesting to hear one's words repeated by somebody who has a different interpretation of them.
I quoted from a newspaper article which I take as being authoritative. U.S. negotiators say that they believe their cultural related companies, such as telecommunications and computer software firms, would not have as much access to the global market if countries were allowed to protect those kinds of industries. With a broad cultural exemption, it is my position that this government, particularly under the idea that was postulated by the Liberal speaker before me, is that this would be self-policing. We will decide what is going to be included and what is not. Quite frankly, the Yankee trader would be crazy to sign such an agreement.
