“The government is increasing fees on streaming services like Netflix, and that will make them cost more for Canadians. I want the government to support our motion to stop this streaming tax.”

“Mr. Speaker, to the Liberals, CRTC is their mission statement: control, regulate and tax Canadians. Now they are coming after Canadians with a streaming tax, tripling the levy that streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon have to pay. This is going to go directly to the bill the consumers pay. If the Liberals had their way, the only fiction we would see is the Prime Minister saying that the country’s on the right track. We have an option for them: a motion that we have put forward in the House, calling on the Liberals to do the right thing, use their power in the Broadcasting Act and cut the streaming tax once and for all. When Canadians cannot afford grocery shopping, they should not be priced out of even watching cooking shows on TV, which is precisely what the Liberals are doing. Will they commit today to doing the right thing, supporting our motion and getting out of Canadians’ streaming platforms?”
