| 100-sres-227 | 100 | sres | 227 | A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate regarding proposals by the Government of Canada to limit the ability of foreign companies to distribute motion pictures in that country, and the relationship of those proposals to the successful completion of a Free Trade Agreement between the U.S. and Canada. | Foreign Trade and International Finance | 1987-06-05 | 1987-06-05 | Referred to the Committee on Finance. | Senate | Sen. Cranston, Alan [D-CA] | CA | D | C000877 | 6 | Declares that: (1) proposals by Canada to impose discriminatory limitations on foreign companies to distribute motion pictures in Canada reflect a protectionist trade policy aimed primarily at U.S. motion picture distributors; and (2) such measures are at odds with free trade between nations and could bar completion of negotiations and Senate approval of a Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Canada. | 2025-01-03T20:55:44Z |
