The member met with American representatives then took his decision by himself before he announced it to the House. Two weeks after the fact did he agree to meet with the representatives from the Canadian magazine industry when they requested a meeting to set the facts straight?</p>\n<p>The member for Dauphin\u2014Swan River can argue as much as he wants that he got information from both sides. Just because his seat mate chooses to ignore him does not mean that the member should not communicate with Canadians. It is obvious or it may as well be written ink that the member is off the mark.</p>",
