Madam Speaker, there was a quote earlier which basically stated the principle of importance, that the world's cultural heritage has to be preserved and passed on to future generations and will require a multilateral effort. Canada was not part of the agreement until 1999. The United States and the U.K. are still not part of the agreement.
I have a question for the hon. member. What message should Canada be giving to the Americans and the British in this regard to reinforce the messaging that it is going to take a multilateral effort, and that without their participation this is not going to happen as easily as it should?
