It has decided to champion the interests of American companies in the House even as our culture and media sectors are being hit hard by an unprecedented advertising revenue crisis. We have to support them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9364838\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Some American companies are going to use our cultural products to make a profit here, yet we should not tax them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9364839\" data-originallang=\"fr\">How is that fair?</p>",

Il d\u00e9cide de d\u00e9fendre \u00e0 la Chambre les int\u00e9r\u00eats des compagnies am\u00e9ricaines, alors que nos entreprises culturelles et nos entreprises de presse subissent les contrecoups d'une crise sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent sur le plan des revenus publicitaires. Il faut les soutenir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9364838\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Or certaines entreprises am\u00e9ricaines vont faire des profits, ici, avec nos produits culturels. Pourtant, il ne faudrait pas les taxer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9364839\" data-originallang=\"fr\">O\u00f9 se trouve l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 l\u00e0-dedans?</p>"
