Gérard Deltell Conservative
“The government cancelled the digital services tax to help talks with the United States. Sixteen months later, those talks have made no progress at all. The government gave up this tax and got nothing in return.”
“Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. He is obviously very articulate in both official languages, which is good for all Canadians, especially here in the House of Commons. Today we are talking about the digital services tax. The member is well aware that his government scrapped that tax in June 2025, claiming that it was doing so to help the negotiations with the United States. Sixteen months later, can the member tell us how the negotiations with the United States are going? At first glance, there has been no progress at all, absolutely none. The government scrapped a tax that helped it get elected. It scrapped the tax, but absolutely nothing changed.”
