Madam Speaker, the Liberals are trying to convince us that they have become the champions of the French language when, in fact, they are not.
They are sticking with the same kind of reasoning used with the abysmal Netflix agreement. In their budget, the Liberals did not allocate any money specifically for the production of French-language audiovisual content. This sector was already on life support. Artists and artisans are worried. The pandemic has only placed them in an even more precarious situation.
Will the minister pledge to allocate funds for French-language audiovisual productions, a sector essential to the vitality of the French language, yes or no?
