Replying to Tatiana Auguste (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I am proud to take the floor again today to ask an important question on behalf of the citizens of Terrebonne, whom I have the honour of representing. Quebec businesses are facing a situation that is far from normal. The trade environment has changed, and we must support our businesses while creating new opportunities. Can the industry minister inform the House of the measures the government is taking to protect workers and create jobs in Quebec?”
