Mr. Speaker, we now know that the Minister of Canadian Heritage had all the information in hand when she negotiated her agreement with Netflix. She knew full well that it was a bad deal. She also knew her announcement would be historic, as it was the first time a law was being made specifically to exempt a company from taxes. Everyone else has to follow the rules, but not Netflix.
How is it that in a $500-million deal, there is zero money for francophone creators? This is unacceptable.
Will the Prime Minister tell his minister she needs to stop failing francophone producers and to make a minimum commitment of $133 million?
