Madam Speaker, the member talked about average Canadians. My niece, who is a musician, plays in a band called The County Line with her partner, Hayden. I would not call her average. I would say she is above average. She just posted that her first concert, after two years, is going to be on May 14. For two years, she has not earned revenue as a musician. In the meantime, Netflix's revenue has gone up 22%. We heard the member's speech, and we heard the member before her trying to say that this was going to help the government track people's cell phones. Clearly, if anyone read the bill, there is no way the government could track people's cell phones. It is not in the bill. I am deeply concerned about the Conservatives not bringing forward real solutions. If the Conservatives actually support our artists in Canada and want to stop the economic leakage, what is it that they want to see change? Why are they continuing to be the gatekeepers for the big web giants?
