Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, the bill is about making web giants pay their fair share, not about individual content. The committee decided to include social media companies to ensure that they pay their fair share to Canadian artists and musicians. Think of YouTube making millions of dollars on

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, the member opposite, who is on the heritage committee, should know that proposed subsection 2(2.1) of the bill says that individuals who upload content from social media platforms are not considered broadcasters. He also knows that subsection 2(3) of the act states:

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, maybe the Leader of the Opposition should actually read the bill. Section 2.1 of the bill states that individuals who upload content on social media platforms, such as Facebook or TikTok, are not considered broadcasters. This means, Mr. Speaker, that you and I cannot

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, our artists and creators are among the Canadians who have been hit the hardest by the pandemic. They are suffering financially and mentally. Bill C-10 brought them the hope that things would get better soon, with the promise of forcing web giants to invest in stories

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, this issue has nothing to do with free speech. This has nothing to do with what Canadians do online. This have everything to do with what web giants are not doing, which is investing in Canadian artists, Canadian musicians and Canadian culture. Why is the Conservati

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, if anyone is abandoning our creators, it is the opposition. It refuses to let us move forward with Bill C-10, which nearly all arts organizations across the country are calling for. Just this week, it was ADISQ and the Union des artists. Why did the Bloc Québécois v

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, the bill is not about what Canadians do online. It is about what the web giants do not do, which is to support Canadian stories and music. The bill explicitly exempts individuals from contribution requirements. We have and will continue to improve the bill so it can

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, as they say, actions speak louder than words. My esteemed colleague has an opportunity to support francophone artists from across the country. Bill C-10 will enable the government to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in culture, in music, in our TV shows and mo

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, Google made $180 billion U.S. in profits last year, and YouTube made $15.1 billion U.S. All Bill C-10 asks is that a small portion be invested in Canadian and Quebec culture, for our artists and creators. The Conservatives insist on protecting these companies, which

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, with all due respect to the hon. member, I must say that what he is saying is false. Let us not forget that a year ago, there was no obligation on the part of web giants to invest in Quebec culture. That is what we are trying to accomplish with Bill C-10. There was

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her question. I too find it alarming that one party in the House of Commons does not share our unease and concern about climate change. With respect to Canada's international performance in the fight against climate change, I humbly

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I would beg to differ with the hon. member's characterization of what is happening in Canada. Just a few months ago, there was an announcement by the Government of Canada, in collaboration with the Province of Ontario and Unifor, for the construction of North Ame
