Liberal on Canadian Identity and Culture 2026-09-21

38 words · 3 sentences · 4 clauses

Replying to Yves-François Blanchet (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, given the frequency of attendance here, I will take this as a great sign of respect for the voters and citizens of Quebec and Canada. In my view, the Prime Minister has failed in his strategy to appease the American President. In light of this failure, he should reconsider his decision, which we would welcome, so that the web giants, which are wealthier than some countries around the world, pay their fair share to support the vitality of culture and the arts in Canada and Quebec, especially in French.”
