Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairmen of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage because both committees approached this very difficult issue with a new solution, that is the creation of a new international instrument on cultural diversity.
I would like to thank all of the members of this House, both sides of it, who worked on it, because yesterday, Cabinet decided unanimously that we would continue with a new international instrument to recognize cultural diversity because of the work of these members of the House.
