Gérard Deltell Conservative
“Our party has always opposed a tax on Netflix since 2015. The Liberals promised not to raise internet costs with new taxes, but they changed their minds. We are sticking to our position.”
“Madam Speaker, I am very surprised at the question from the member. I am sure he knows our position pretty well, because it was very clear in 2015: no Netflix tax. All of us here who were elected in 2019, 2021 and 2025 had exactly the same stand on that, which was no taxation. The Liberals changed their minds. Let me remind them that former prime minister Trudeau said, “We’re not going to increase the cost of internet...to impose more taxes...on taxpayers.” A few years later, however, he said that other countries had taken action and that Canada had no reason to apologize for doing the same. We are sticking to our guns, but unfortunately, the Liberals are changing their minds like a weather vane.”
