Mr. Speaker, at times the heritage minister does some strange things. The minister and her colleagues almost drove over $700 million in film production out of B.C. and out of Canada. Now that is a feature film policy.
The minister has launched a tape tax on churches recording their services for shut-ins. Now that is promotion of the recording industry.
The heritage minister is endangering thousands of Canadian jobs in lumber, wheat production, plastics, textiles and steel.
She is telling advertisers they cannot exercise free speech in advertising in foreign magazines. If they do, they will face the wrath of the Criminal Code of Canada.
That is a minister who will face the wrath of her own constituents if she does not stop this misguided magazine bill.
