Madam Speaker, the member is on our international trade committee and I appreciate his support and participation.
Looking at the cultural exemption in particular, that is something very important to all of us and certainly to the government. It means that with this agreement we will be protecting a $53.8-billion industry, thousands of jobs across Canada, 75,000 of which are in the Quebec region.
I would like to hear my colleague's comments on whether he thinks that is a worthwhile part to have in this agreement.
