Canadian Identity and Culture
During question period on Canadian identity and culture, the Bloc Québécois said the government’s cancellation of the digital services tax and the waiving of levies on streaming services would cost about $1.4 billion a year that should have gone toward supporting French-language culture and making large web companies contribute. The Liberal reply pointed to investments in culture in the most recent budget, including $750 million for the National Film Board, CBC/Radio-Canada and Telefilm Canada, and said the Bloc had not accomplished results while in Ottawa. The exchange centred on the trade-off between the cancelled digital levies and the budget’s cultural spending.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
