Guillaume Deschênes-Thériault Liberal
“We need a full plan to help businesses hurt by tariffs. We are giving them loans and grants right now. Over the long term, we are investing in infrastructure, buying Canadian goods, and helping small businesses find new markets around the world.”
“Mr. Speaker, I think that is why it is important to have a comprehensive strategy with short-term actions, including the assistance measures that were recently announced in the form of loans and various types of subsidies to help the businesses most affected by the tariffs. There are also medium- and long-term measures. Strengthening the Canadian market means investments in our infrastructure and the buy Canadian policy that we are currently implementing. It also means diversifying our markets internationally. We are also providing support through various programs to SMEs that want to explore new markets. That includes a range of measures that will have an impact in the short term to help the businesses most affected by the tariffs, but also to help strengthen these businesses in the long term and, ultimately, to strengthen the Canadian economy.”
