“Canada's arts and culture industry creates many jobs and sells a lot to China. Can the minister update the House on his recent trip to China?”
“Mr. Speaker, known worldwide for its talent and creativity, Canada’s cultural industry supports hundreds of thousands of jobs nationally and drives economic growth. In 2023, China was Canada’s fourth-largest creative export market. During the Prime Minister’s visit to Beijing in January, Canada and China committed to advancing further opportunities for cultural exchanges and partnerships. Can the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages please update the House about his recent trip to China?”
