Chak Au Conservative
“The government has changed CRTC decisions before, so it can do it again now. This new fee will make life more expensive. Does the government support adding this extra cost on people?”
“Mr. Speaker, let us see who is sidestepping here. From 2021 up to now, we have seen numerous occasions where the government intervened with decisions made by the CRTC. Now the Liberals are trying to hide behind the argument that the CRTC is an arm’s-length organization. Let us be clear. We are not talking about the CRTC’s mandate here today. We are talking about affordability and the burden on the people with this increase in levy. Let me ask a simple question: Does the government agree that this increase would impose an additional burden on the people? Also, will the government support this additional burden on the people?”
