Madam Speaker, what the hon. member should understand is that when a government puts more regulation and more taxation in place and functions in a punitive manner toward a sector, that sector will no longer make investments in the country. That is the precipice on which we stand.
The culture sector in Canada is thriving. Companies like Netflix are making massive investments here, creating thousands of jobs on an annual basis. That is a good thing, and that needs to be celebrated and encouraged. Those folks need to be made more prosperous, not less. What the government is doing would drive investment out and take away jobs from those who are functioning within the cultural sector.
