“We need to support our artists and cultural industry. Official decisions to help them were stalled by lawsuits. That is why we gave the industry $600 million when they needed it.”
“Madam Speaker, the question we need to ask ourselves is this: How are we going to support artists and the cultural industry? We agree that this is very important. It is also important to note that the CRTC’s decisions had not been implemented. They were stalled because there were too many lawsuits. We therefore decided to give the industry this $600 million in support because it was needed at that time.”
