“The Bloc Québécois says Quebec culture is under threat, but they did not ask for cultural funding in the budget and voted against the $700 million we provided for it. They are also wrong to say Canada is not building closer ties with Europe.”
“Mr. Speaker, that party is talking about threats to Quebec culture, but when it came time to make budget requests, it did not say a word about Quebec culture. When it came time to vote on the last budget, which contained $700 million for culture, including Quebec culture, not a single Bloc Québécois member voted for it. It is astounding to hear them talk and falsely accuse others about threats to culture. Now the Bloc members are talking about closer ties with Europe. No one, apart from the Bloc Québécois, believes that Canada is not rapidly becoming closer to Europe.”
