The Economy
Question period focused on the economy, specifically the impact of new American tariffs on steel, aluminum, and other products. Bloc Québécois members said Quebec businesses are closing and workers are losing jobs — citing a furniture plant closure affecting 126 jobs — and pressed the government for wage subsidies, help for the forestry sector, and changes to employment insurance. Mélanie Joly, responding for the government, said the government disagrees with the new American tariff interpretation, has been in contact with manufacturers in Quebec and across the country as well as Quebec’s premier, and will continue supporting Canadian businesses and workers through the trade dispute.Written by AI from the debate.
