Discussion · Government Orders
Kurt Holman Conservative
“Government loans do not help struggling businesses, because they just add more debt. We need to lower tariffs and cut red tape so businesses can compete. I am asking the Bloc member to comment on this.”
“Mr. Speaker, real relief does not come from government loan programs. It comes from getting tariffs reduced or eliminated. Loans do not restore competitiveness. They saddle struggling businesses with more debt, while the underlying problem remains. At the same time, the Liberals are failing to focus on what Canada can control. Instead of strengthening our economy at home, they continue to layer on red tape, slow approvals and policies that make it harder to build, produce and compete. I wonder if the member from the Bloc could expand on this.”
