Liberal
“Our government is investing over $700 million into culture in Canada and Quebec. We are doing this because strong culture makes our country strong.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member opposite for his question. I am proud to be part of a government that clearly understands the connection between a strong cultural sector and a strong, sovereign country. That is why we have made huge investments of over $700 million in the Canadian and Quebec cultural sector in budget 2025.
