Mr. Speaker, Claims · 73 wordslet us not forget that the Liberals turned their backs on Quebec culture by waiving the levies for U.S. online streaming platforms to please Donald Trump.¹ In exchange, the government promised $600 million for the cultural sector, ²which has yet to see a single penny.³ The levies were supposed to take effect last spring.⁴ That means that, since last spring, our cultural sector has received nothing: neither the levies nor the $600 million. Positioning · 15 wordsThe only thing our cultural sector has received from Ottawa so far is bad news.Positioning The question · 8 wordsWhen is the government going to take action?
