Mr. Speaker, Claims · 10 words that is the kind of answer we got in June. Procedure · 12 words We will say it again, and we will say it every time. Procedure Claims · 57 words There is no future for Quebec television without a fair share of funding from American online streaming platforms. It is not possible to replace the long-term contribution from the tech giants, which is protected by the Broadcasting Act, with a one-time payment of $600 million that any government could cancel, depending on the mood of the day.1 2 Positioning · 18 words It is irresponsible and even illegal. The government is acting as though we are still in the 1990s. Positioning The question · 18 words Will the government respect its own law, its own word, and ask the CRTC to reinstate the levies?
