Your government got rid of the digital services tax in the hope that it would facilitate trade talks. It didn't work. On the contrary, we're dealing with someone who is completely unpredictable.
Don't you think that, at some point, we have to stop looking at culture as a potential irritant, that we have to put policies in place, that we have to stand up and protect our industries, our jobs and our cultures?
I'm getting tired of hearing that we have to tread carefully because it's a sensitive issue for the Americans. They don't feel the need to tread carefully when it comes to sensitive issues for Quebeckers and Canadians. They put up obstacles every step of the way.
Don't you think we need to say, let's get on with our own business, let them think what they may, because we are going to protect our citizens and put the necessary mechanisms in place to do that? In particular, that means making digital companies, which earn billions of dollars here, contribute to our system.
