Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister said that protecting Quebec culture and the French language was important enough to walk away from trade negotiations with the United States, yet he backed away from requiring American streaming giants to contribute to our cultural sector. The $600 million he promised has still not reached our friends in Quebec.
Has the Prime Minister sacrificed Canada's cultural sovereignty to appease Washington? If he has not, why are American tech giants off the hook while Quebec artists, French language producers and Canadian taxpayers are left holding the bag?
