Mario Beaulieu Bloc Québécois
“The Liberals are running huge deficits and refusing to collect tax money from big web companies. These companies hurt our local media. The government gave up this tax to please Donald Trump, but Canada got nothing in return.”
“Madam Speaker, not only are the Liberals running up massive deficits, but they are also forgoing sources of revenue. One example is that they are refusing to tax the web giants, despite the fact that they are causing immense harm to our local media. Worse still, this outcome was entirely predictable. They did it to appease Mr. Trump as part of the negotiations, but they got nothing in return. They merely whetted the U.S. administration’s appetite.”
