“We want the $600 million paid out as quickly as possible. But regular taxpayers should not have to pay for it. Big tech companies make billions of dollars and pay nothing, so they should pay this cost instead.”
“Mr. Speaker, we want the $600 million to be paid out as quickly as possible. However, we find it shocking that all taxpayers in Canada and Quebec, who do pay their taxes, will be subsidizing our industry, which needs support. Rather, it should be the tech giants’ job, given that they are raking in billions of dollars and paying nothing. That is shocking and makes no sense at all.”
