Replying to Chi Nguyen (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, Spadina—Harbourfront is home to one of the largest arts and culture communities in Canada. We know a thing or two about showcasing incredible Canadian talent and the artists who tell our stories. Budget 2026 includes much-needed investments to support professional artists and organizations experiencing financial pressures. Could the parliamentary secretary tell us more about the measures included and how we are investing in Canada’s cultural sovereignty?”
