Discussion · Government Orders
Marie-Hélène Gaudreau Bloc Québécois
“The government needs to target help to specific industries, like forestry in my riding. The forestry industry needs relief from duties so it has the cash it needs to survive.”
“Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague because in my speech I was truly talking about small and medium-sized enterprises, SMEs. I am a small business owner, myself. The measures need to be targeted and very specific to the economic sectors we want to save. When I was talking about Quebec, I was referring to Quebec’s economic diversification. If there are measures for Laurentides—Labelle, we should help the forestry industry. What about countervailing duties for the industry, to provide it with the liquidity it needs to survive?”
