Andrew Lawton Conservative
“Lower taxes help Canadians. The government's streaming rules will make it harder to share Canadian art and culture with the rest of the world. I want us to support Canadian creators instead.”
“Madam Speaker, wanting Canadians not to be taxed more is about supporting Canadians and supporting Canadian interests. I would note that Quebec has produced some cultural gems. If every other country in the world did what the Liberal government has done through the Online Streaming Act, it would actually be harder for that content to find its way into, for example, other francophone countries. When we block cultural imports, we are also blocking cultural exports. I choose to stand behind what Canadians are capable of producing and creating.”
