Replying to Yves Perron (Bloc Québécois). The question was off topic, so this reply is judged against the motion.
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague raised some good points. I liked the part where he talked about the protections that Quebec offers consumers. I would like to talk to him about the business world. Berthier—Maskinongé witnessed a minor miracle this morning. It was the grand reopening of Duchesne et Fils, which had been under the protection of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act for months. All of the elected officials, namely the MNA, the RCM’s reeve, the mayor and myself, worked as a team and helped Groupe Zohar, the company that took over. We were happy. The employees’ faces looked so different today compared to a few weeks ago, when a press conference was held to sound the alarm and point out that more time was needed. This is the kind of thing we need to do. Companies, Quebec’s SMEs, need help. Firms are going out of business. That is what made this morning’s event so special. Would my colleague not agree that our wage subsidy proposal, which I keep bringing up here every chance I get, would help with that?”

Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 10 wordsfirst of all, my heart goes out to those employees, ThanksClaims · 16 wordsand I agree with my hon. colleague that the SME sector is critical to Canada’s growth.Reasoning · 46 wordsWhat I would say is that Quebec is leading the country in advocating changes to the way banks are held responsible for these fraud situations, 1so I think we should study the Quebec example and apply those very valid mechanisms at the federal level as well.Off point
