In question period, the Bloc Québécois raised cultural funding, saying the government gave in to the United States by preventing the CRTC from requiring American streaming platforms to contribute to Canadian culture, and asked when the promised $600 million for the cultural sector would be paid. The Liberals replied that the money would come soon, and argued that their budget invests billions in culture, which the Bloc voted against. The Bloc said a one-time payment cannot replace ongoing contributions from streaming platforms and asked the government to apply the fees as the law provides.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
