Mr. Speaker, I respectfully wish to congratulate the member for his speech.
John Kenneth Galbraith, an eminent economist and visionary humanist of his time, who passed away recently, said:
The State has numerous functions, one of which is to prevent private economic powers from interfering in the public sphere. That is one of its clearest and most crucial missions.
In light of his vision for cultural policy, will the member say whether he agrees with this statement?
