About this bill
Committee recommends rejecting proposal for Norwegian cultural canon
Four MPs—Haagen Poppe, Tone Wilhelmsen Trøen, Anna Molberg, and Tage Pettersen—proposed establishing a committee to develop a Norwegian cultural canon: a list of significant works in Norwegian art and cultural heritage. The Standing Committee on Labour and Social Affairs, with a majority from the Labour Party, Progress Party, Socialist Left Party, and Green Party, recommends rejection. The Conservative Party and Christian Democratic Party submitted minority proposals backing the initiative with variations.
