Mr. Speaker, my question is also for the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
The U.S. ambassador to Canada recently said that, if we wanted to keep professional sports teams from leaving the country, all we had to do was follow their example and provide teams with all sorts of funding to keep them home.
Will the minister admit that the real problem is that this American funding of professional sports constitutes unfair competition and that the real solution would be to lodge a complaint under NAFTA against such competition?
