Mario Simard Bloc Québécois
“The Conservative leader asked the Prime Minister to stop making demands of big tech companies because he feared American tariffs. Does my colleague from Quebec agree that his leader made a bad decision, especially given Quebec's unique culture?”
“Madam Speaker, I have a very simple question for my colleague. We know that the Leader of the Opposition sent a letter to the Prime Minister asking him to put an end to the entirely legitimate demands that the government was making of the web giants because he was afraid that the Americans would retaliate with more tariffs. Does my colleague agree with that as a Quebecker, given our cultural specificity? Does he not think that his leader made a bad decision in this case?”
