Madam Speaker, I would like to ask my esteemed colleague how much control would be appropriate if he does not think that the government should have full control over broadcasting and online media.

Madam Speaker, I worked as an ethicist for 25 years and I am against censorship. My hon. colleague was talking about freedom of speech, but freedom does not give people permission to say whatever they want. This is an important distinction. I would like to know how he plans to make that distinction if there is more regulation.

Madam Speaker, the notion of “fair share”, of paying one's fair share of taxes and contributing one's fair share of Canadian content, can be found throughout Bill C‑11. How will the government ensure, with Bill C‑11, that the web giants will not be the ones deciding what is considered a fair share?

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his eloquent speech on culture. That is something we do not hear often enough within these walls. I also liked that he talked about freedom of expression, not in terms of censorship, but rather in terms of the need for artists to express themselves. To do that, they have to be able to earn a living, so it is another form of freedom of expression. I would like to know whether, in terms of revenue or discoverability, artists should rely on the web giants or rather on us, on the government.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Portage—Lisgar for her comments and for her description of the situation. However, the only way for parties to resolve a conflict is through dialogue. I would like to know why my colleague is so insistent that the ambassador or his representatives be sent back to Russia when that will ultimately only disrupt the dialogue.
