Replying to Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Beauce comes from a region that has indeed been hard hit by the current situation, but also by the government’s failure to respond. My colleague mentioned the proposals put forward by the opposition parties in good faith to improve the situation quickly. Does my colleague support the Bloc Québécois’s proposal to immediately and quickly establish a wage subsidy mechanism for businesses affected by the current illegal U.S. tariffs?”
