Marianne Dandurand Liberal
“The system meant to send money to cultural groups is tied up in court. That is why our government is funding them directly instead. I want to know why the member still supports a system that is not working.”
“Mr. Speaker, I, too, am a big fan of Pays-des-Bleuets, but I always thought that Lac-Saint-Jean was more blueberry country, not Saguenay. However, that is a discussion for another time. The CRTC mechanism has not yet allowed the money to flow to cultural institutions because it is being challenged in court at this time. That is why our government is providing funding to support the cultural sector. Why is the member so keen to preserve a mechanism that is not working?”
