Christine Normandin Bloc Québécois
“The Liberals always break their promises. We have been waiting months for the $600 million they promised to the cultural sector. They are also breaking their promises to protect the environment.”
“Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for making an effort to speak in the language of Molière. I grant that French is not an easy language. It is a very broad question that may go beyond today’s topic, but it is still related to it. Unfortunately, we know the Liberals have a history of broken and unfulfilled promises, as my colleague, the member for Drummond, mentioned. We have been waiting for the $600 million they promised for the cultural sector for months. It is also very much the government’s style to break with tradition, even though that tradition has, in fact, been typical of the Liberals on a number of issues, like the environment. After all, the current Prime Minister is the former UN special envoy on climate action and finance. What we are seeing in Bill C‑39 when it comes to protecting the environment is nothing more than broken promises and shattered illusions.”
