Mr. Speaker, it is obvious that the government is downplaying this matter. It does not understand.
The minister tells us, while trying not to laugh, that there is very little risk of our cultural industries being inundated with Latvian cultural goods.
On the one hand, I am not sure that he realizes what Latvia produces. On the other, I wish to remind him that there are major cultural players in Europe, including France, England, Germany, Italy and Spain.
NAFTA already contains an exemption clause. Why does he not have the courage to defend this very position when dealing with European countries?
