News at Eleven: [Fred] Wah is tasked with representing

Canadian literature by a government that has made significant cuts to the arts. He admitted that "in regards to this particular government--much of which I disagree with ideologically--is that I have to find a way to work that ideology. But that's no different from the parliamentarians on the hill who represent different ideas.

"Each of us comes from a specific constituency of opinion and imagination and I think mine is pretty easy to pin down. I don't know quite yet how I'm going to negotiate it, but I find it intriguing."
