Canadian Identity and Culture

Sitting 131 No matching statements

A debate on Canadian identity and culture quickly turned into an argument about government funding for the cultural sector. The Bloc Québécois accused the Liberal government of abandoning Quebec culture in the face of American digital giants and criticized a $600 million investment in the industry. The Liberals defended their support for CBC/Radio-Canada, Telefilm Canada, and the National Film Board, and accused the Bloc of voting against funding for culture. Personal attacks and accusations of betrayal were exchanged, but the actual state of Canadian identity and culture was largely ignored in favor of bickering over government spending.
