Jean-Denis Garon Bloc Québécois
“Quebec business groups and steelworkers want wage subsidies to protect jobs hurt by new tariffs. I want to know how much money in this budget will go to that kind of wage subsidy.”
“Madam Chair, speaking of resources allocated in the estimates, the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec and steelworkers are calling for a wage subsidy to help maintain the employment relationship between employers and workers who have been hit hard by the new tariff calculation. From what I understand, not a single penny of the budget will be allocated to a wage subsidy program. The minister knows that we think that the measures that have already been announced are inadequate. Even though he will not answer, I would like to know exactly how much of the budget is allocated to the wage subsidy that the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec is calling for.”
