Mr. Speaker, it is important to recognize that the CRTC stands alone. It is at arm's length from and independent of the government. That is a very important thing to note.
The other thing I would highlight is that it is somewhat shameful to see Conservative member after Conservative member surrender Canada's sovereignty as they advocate on behalf of Donald Trump and the United States with respect to the whole idea of applying something to protect the Canadian arts industry, something that, by the way, other G7 countries have done. The Conservatives are saying no to not only Canada having the opportunity to protect its industries, but also possibly even those other G7 countries. Why is the Conservative Party not recognizing the importance of Canadian sovereignty on the issue of the arts?
