Yves Perron Bloc Québécois
“The government cancelled a digital services tax that would have brought in $7 billion over five years. It also cancelled over $2 billion in broadcasting fees. Replacing all of that with only $600 million hurts our media and culture sector.”
“Mr. Speaker, we are so looking forward to hearing the parliamentary secretary’s speech. What he just reiterated to the House, and the message he is sending to the media and culture sector, is that they were deprived of $7 billion over five years with the repeal of the digital services tax, that the CRTC’s levies, which would have brought in more than $2 billion, have been cancelled, and that this is being replaced by a nice little $600 million that will come out of their own pockets.”
