Discussion · Government Orders
Burton Bailey Conservative
“The government's streaming law failed. It created more problems for our arts and culture industry and is making Canadians pay for it. I want the Liberal member to admit this.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to quote Michael Geist, Canada research chair in Internet and e-commerce law: “Patching the old broadcast contribution system onto the Internet was never a good idea, and starting over creates an opportunity for a much-needed full reset and the chance to provide more sensible answers to those questions.” Would the Liberal member agree that the Liberal government failed with the Online Streaming Act, simply creating more problems for Canadians and the arts and culture industry, and is once again having Canadians foot the bill?”
