“The Bloc Québécois criticizes us, but they voted against our budget that had $750 million for culture. Now we are spending $600 million to support our artists and culture, and the Bloc opposes that too.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois is a master at lecturing others, but it has no lessons to teach. When we were negotiating the budget and sought their support, the Bloc Québécois made no requests about culture. When it came time to vote on the budget, which included $750 million for culture, the Bloc Québécois voted against it. Now that we are announcing $600 million—a decision welcomed by ADISQ and the cultural sector to support our artists, our cultural sector and our cultural sovereignty—the Bloc Québécois is once again opposing it.”
