Yeah, that's the one.  I followed one of the links within the links to the
PBS transcript.  The ignorance is breathtaking.

REP. ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN, (R) Florida: (Capitol Hill) Well, I think that
Canada should be left out of it. They are free to trade with Cuba. They're
free to trade with any country that they want to. All that the Helms-Burton
Bill does is protect confiscated American property. If Canada wants to
build a four-star hotel on one of the beautiful beaches of Cuba--beaches,
by the way, which Cuban citizens cannot use,hotels which Cuban natives
cannot go into--but if Canada wants to do it, they are welcome to do it.
