Business of Supply
A Conservative supply motion calling on the government to cancel the CRTC’s new requirement that online streaming services pay 15% of their Canadian revenues, up from 5%, arguing the cost will be passed to consumers, cost jobs, and strain trade with the United States. Conservatives said the levy amounts to a tax that hurts households and cultural businesses, which should compete freely; the Bloc opposed the motion and argued both major parties have abandoned taxing digital companies, pointing to the cancelled digital services tax and what the government got in return for scrapping it; the NDP said streaming companies should contribute to Canadian film, television and artists and urged members to vote the motion down; Liberals defended the CRTC as an independent regulator whose decisions should not be directed by the House and said the government is protecting the arts sector and Canadian industries during trade negotiations with the United States. Some Bloc members also paid tribute to a departing colleague, and one Liberal question concerned how Bill C-11 supports francophone artists.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
