Replying to Jim Bélanger (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to say that the area I come from, the Sudbury area, has actually become a pretty major Ontario film hub over the last 10 to 15 years, namely for Shoresy, which is a spinoff of Letterkenny. How does my colleague think this increase in tax will impact our communities and what damage might it do?”
