Marilène Gill Bloc Québécois
“The Liberals say the economy is strong, but people in my riding are losing their jobs. The government has done nothing to help them keep their jobs or get through this crisis. Its programs just give businesses more debt, and it takes too long to get the money.”
“Mr. Speaker, that brings to mind a Dalida song. We keep hearing about a strong economy. I would like the Liberals to come to my riding and tell the workers who have lost their jobs that there is absolutely nothing to help them maintain their employment relationship or get through this crisis. I would like the Liberals to come and tell them that the government has strong measures in place. These strong measures mean more debt for businesses. What is more, no one knows when they will see this money, which could be put to use by the businesses themselves. They are being asked to diversify, but also to innovate. While this could be a viable option for some in a crisis, not everyone is necessarily in a position to do so. In my view, the government has done absolutely nothing for the industry.”
