Considers the relationship between culture & national identity in Canada in terms of efforts to protect Canadian culture & cultural institutions. How identity is not a mere function of citizenship is briefly addressed; although, it is asserted that the state does have a role in identity. It is then argued that Canadian culture is flourishing & that the government has a critical place in maintaining & advancing this culture. Although Canada cannot escape the fact that it belongs to the US economic space, the government can help maintain a politically & culturally distinct country. Thus, it is contended that in the realm of public policy the government should invest heavily in identity by way of national & local cultural infrastructures. J. Zendejas
