It shows his knowledge— Madam Speaker, as I was saying, I was almost moved by the first part of my colleague’s speech, by the litany of good intentions. I thought he would come to the same conclusion as us, but that is not the case. Nevertheless, it is reassuring to hear from someone who is aware of this issue. By the way, when it comes to the CRTC’s decision to impose a levy on the web giants, the online streamers, the government initially said it would take a pragmatic approach. Given that the government had to negotiate with the Americans and did not want to upset them too much, it decided that instead of imposing a levy, it would provide $600 million in funding, although this money has not yet reached its intended recipients. Affordability was also cited as a reason. The government’s current logic is that it should make the public pay so that the public does not have to pay. That is the logic behind the Liberals’ decision not to make the web giants pay. How does that make sense?”
