Mr. Speaker, I do not think my colleague understands what he is talking about. If he is talking about Bill C-11, it is simply asking streamers to support Canadian culture. If he is talking about C-18, it is simply asking the web giants to support independent journalism. One thing remains: the Conservatives keep filibustering things that are absolutely essential for Canadians. If they do not want to help, they should stay out of the way and let us do the job.

Mr. Speaker, Conservatives think that culture is what one finds in a yogourt bowl. They never raise it. They do not care about it. They stand up for the web giants and that is it— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, we are here, supporting our culture, our artists, our creators, our music industry, our books, our television, our movies. What are Conservatives supporting? They are supporting web giants and tech giants. That is it. They are standing up for them, not for Canadians. On this side, we are standing up for Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, the government has said yes to various demands made by Quebec. We are working with Quebec. What Quebec wants is to see Bill C‑11 passed for the music, film and television industries. The Conservatives, who have filibustered the bill the entire time, have suddenly woken up to say that culture is important. Since when has culture been important to the Conservatives? They could not care less. Our government will be there for our artists despite the Conservatives.
