Christine Normandin Bloc Québécois
“The Prime Minister talks about working with our allies, but his actions say otherwise. He is dropping taxes on big tech and online broadcasters, and building pipelines to help American oil companies. Why is he abandoning our allies just to please Donald Trump?”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister talks a good game. After Davos, where he called for middle powers to stand together, on Saturday he said at the G7 that the strands of a new world order could be woven together. The problem is that it is all talk. In real life, the Prime Minister is breaking with Europe by scrapping the digital services tax. He is distancing himself from the European Union by scrapping the levies on online broadcasters. He is leaving the climate fight to the Europeans so his government can build pipelines to benefit the Americans who own the oil companies. Why is he spending his time abandoning the middle powers just to please Donald Trump?”
