Alexis Deschênes Bloc Québécois
“I agree with my colleague. The Conservatives are siding with American companies instead of helping our culture and media, which are losing advertising money. It is not fair that American companies can make money off our culture without paying taxes here.”
“Mr. Speaker, on the whole, I agree with my colleague. We are witnessing a pathetic display of obsequiousness by the Conservative Party today. It has decided to champion the interests of American companies in the House even as our culture and media sectors are being hit hard by an unprecedented advertising revenue crisis. We have to support them. Some American companies are going to use our cultural products to make a profit here, yet we should not tax them. How is that fair?”
