Christine Normandin Bloc Québécois
“The Prime Minister promised to fix the tariff problem quickly, but it is getting worse. I want the government to help pay workers' wages so small businesses hurt by these tariffs do not have to cut jobs.”
“Mr. Speaker, I was pleased to hear the applause. The Prime Minister will be celebrating the first anniversary of his election on April 28 with an economic update. He promised to resolve the tariff crisis quickly. However, it is hitting harder than ever, with new tariffs on the total value of processed products. The Bloc Québécois has laid out what we expect in terms of better support for Quebec’s economy. First and foremost, we are calling for a wage subsidy to protect jobs in businesses threatened by tariffs, especially SMEs. Will the government adopt this vital proposal?”
