“Lower taxes and fewer rules help our arts and culture sector grow. The other side is wrong to think that more taxes and more rules will help Canadian creators.”
“Madam Speaker, I will acknowledge that when we draw investment into this country through good policies that include less taxation and less regulation, it does in fact allow our cultural sector to thrive. That is a truth. The member opposite, however, is contending that the government should be more punitive, put more taxes in place and put more regulation in place. Somehow, the member feels that is what is going to spur growth within the cultural sector and somehow encourage Canadians to be rooted and established here in their production of content. That is false.”
