Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe Bloc Québécois
“Big tech companies make billions in Canada and can easily follow our rules. The Conservatives want to give up protecting Quebec's culture and identity before trade talks even start, just because they are afraid of Donald Trump.”
“Madam Speaker, tech giants are profiting from the Canadian market and raking in billions of dollars in profits. They already have the resources to adapt to the parameters of a legislation like the one Canada is proposing. They already have all the resources. However, from what I understand of the Conservative motion, even before negotiating a trade agreement, the government should give up its convictions when it comes to defending Quebec’s culture and identity. Am I to understand that the Conservatives are so afraid of Donald Trump that, before they even start negotiating, they are abandoning their principles when it comes to culture and identity?”
