Yves-François Blanchet Bloc Québécois
“The government's new help for businesses will not save jobs or keep skilled workers. I want to know why the Prime Minister did not use his party's old plan to help pay workers' wages at businesses in trouble.”
“Mr. Speaker, the government has announced business support measures that will certainly have an uplifting effect over the long term, but will not save jobs, maintain the employment relationship or retain expertise within companies, especially companies at greatest risk. I want to understand why the Prime Minister did not adopt the proposal initially created by his party a few years ago: the wage subsidy program for at-risk businesses.”
