“The Prime Minister canceled the digital services tax just because Donald Trump posted about it online. I want to know when the government will bring this tax back so we can fund arts and culture.”
“Madam Chair, on budget day, the minister no doubt appreciated the way opposition members demonstrated in a compelling and humorous fashion how the government lacked ambition when it came to supporting the media. The Prime Minister said he refused to pay an entry fee to negotiate a trade deal with President Trump, but all it took was a post on President Trump’s Truth Social for the Prime Minister to decide to repeal the digital services tax. I would like to know when he will reinstate the digital services tax so we can provide more adequate arts and culture funding. When will the government reinstate the digital services tax instead of capitulating to the U.S. President?”
