Replying to Mario Beaulieu (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge my former seatmate here. I would like to ask the following. The economic update did not take into account the new 25% tariffs imposed by President Trump on all products containing steel or aluminum. This will have a particular impact on Quebec, as 25% of exports from Quebec SMEs to the United States will be affected. Does my colleague think that measures should be taken to support these businesses? The Bloc Québécois is proposing a wage subsidy to help employers maintain ties with their employees. What does my colleague think?”
