Discussion · Government Orders
Marie-Hélène Gaudreau Bloc Québécois
“We are having this debate because the government is ignoring the rules on broadcasting. Other places like the European Union and Australia chose to protect their culture, but Canada did not.”
“Mr. Speaker, my answer to my colleague is that this is exactly why we are having this opposition day. We are asking for the bare minimum, because the government is definitely not considering the Broadcasting Act. It says it wants to build Canada strong, but we can still look to what is being done elsewhere and draw from it. The EU and Australia, for example, chose culture. We did not.”
