Mr. Speaker, I want to tell the House that, following its recent release in France, the film Les Invasions barbares by Canadian director Denys Arcand is a box office success.
Although I cannot give exact figures, an article in today's La Presse hinted that initial ticket sales for the feature film are very encouraging.
Regardless of what France thinks of the film Les Invasions barbares , I wanted to rise in the House to confirm my pride in this country's ability to produce excellent feature films.
Whether they speak the language of Molière or Shakespeare, Canadians everywhere have always done well at exporting our culture beyond our borders.
We all take great pride in this.
