“I want everyone to vote against this motion. Our government has consistently supported cultural groups with hundreds of millions of dollars, while the Bloc has voted against Quebec culture.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague and congratulate him once again on his eloquence. Nonetheless, I would like to set the record straight. The results are clear. I have referenced them before, and I can do so again for everyone’s benefit. On top of the $600 million, there is another $550 million in concrete funding for CBC/Radio-Canada, Telefilm Canada, the Canada Media Fund, the Canada Music Fund, the National Film Board of Canada and the Canada Council for the Arts, as well as TV5MONDE. That being said, regarding consistency, there is something we need to keep in mind. Again, in my earlier remarks on artificial intelligence, I said that the context is changing very quickly. It takes a very agile government to adapt to this reality. I really hope that all my colleagues will vote against this motion, simply because it is inconsistent with the position of the Bloc, which voted against Quebec culture.”
