Mr. Speaker, last week it was open season for the Americans on Canadian magazines. There was not a single law in place to protect Canada. This week we have managed to secure 82% of the magazine market for Canada. I say that is a win for Canadian magazines. It is a win for the government. Above all, it is a win for my daughter who will have a chance to read her stories in her country for the next century.
