Mr. Speaker, I am astounded by what I am hearing. I am not the one responsible for this file. Speaking of which, I want to acknowledge my colleague from Drummond. This is the second version of this bill. It is not about changing everything. It is about ensuring the promotion, protection and development of our artists and creators. I myself come from the cultural community. If we are talking about $70 million in losses each month, it is because someone here has not understood the importance of culture, because it is over $1.5 billion. What are we waiting for when we know that there will be a review in five years as set out in the sunset clause? It has been overdue since 1991. I would like my colleague opposite to tell me why the official opposition is digging in its heels and stubbornly fearing freedom of expression so much.
