Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank all the witnesses for being here today.
I will start with you, Ms. Tiessen.
We are dealing with a government that, after changing prime ministers, abolished the digital services tax to please President Trump, who, for his part, wants to please Silicon Valley. We are dealing with a government that has decided not to implement the 15% minimum tax, in part because it displeases the U.S. government, which, for its part, wants to please Silicon Valley. We are dealing with a government that is clearly extremely reluctant to ensure any digital sovereignty whatsoever for Canada.
You have submitted a brief and you are enthusiastic, but do you think they will want to listen to you?
