Mr. Speaker, that is simply false. The bill does not regulate users or people who produce podcasts. What the bill does is make sure that tech giants, such as Apple, Spotify and Netflix, pay their fair share. It supports our Canadian creators and makes sure that Canadian stories are heard and that our creators have a voice online. Instead of kneeling in front of tech billionaires, the Leader of the Opposition should stand up for our artists and our creative sector.

Mr. Speaker, that is simply not true. The act does not regulate users or people who produce podcasts. The act does, however, make sure that tech giants like Apple, Spotify or Netflix pay their fair share here in Canada. It also ensures that we are properly supporting our Canadian creators, and that our creators have a voice online. Instead of bowing down to the billionaire tech giants, the Conservative leader should stand up for our creative industries and for Canadians.
