Alexis Deschênes Bloc Québécois
“The Liberals say they support our culture and producers, but they gave up on the digital services tax. How can the member explain this contradiction between his words and his government's actions?”
“Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague on his remarks, and I have no doubt about his commitment to culture and the importance of giving our producers a chance. Otherwise, they will be crushed. I still want to point out the hypocrisy of all this. Liberal Party members of Parliament are talking to us today about defending culture, but they have given up on pushing for the digital services tax. I think that might also explain why the CRTC decided to raise it. It is because the Liberals did not do their job. How does my colleague feel about this contradiction between what he says and his government’s actions?”
