October 2, 1985 (33rd Parliament, 1st Session)

Mr. Belsher:

Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the Minister what sort of regulations he envisions being put in place to regulate the number of races which will be permitted to be used for this purpose which originate from outside the country.

I am sure it is not the intention of the Government to supplant the races which are taking place in Canada at the present time. While everyone knows the Kentucky Derby and similar races hold a great attraction, there are also many other famous races which take place in Europe and other countries. What sort of regulations does the Minister envision being put in place to prevent an over-abundance of races from outside the country?
