Mr. Speaker, the minister likes to sing a pretty tune; too bad he does not like to pay the Canadian artists who write the songs.
The Conservatives' notion of promoting Canadian culture is to rob it from Canadians. They have mugged musicians to the tune of $20 million. They have kneecapped the CBC and Telefilm. They are closing CineRobotheque in Montreal and the NFB studios in Toronto.
How can the minister claim to support Canadian culture when he constantly takes a sledgehammer to its very foundations?
