“Quebec businesses are facing tough trade conditions. What is the government doing to protect workers and create jobs in Quebec?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I am proud to take the floor again today to ask an important question on behalf of the citizens of Terrebonne, whom I have the honour of representing. Quebec businesses are facing a situation that is far from normal. The trade environment has changed, and we must support our businesses while creating new opportunities. Can the industry minister inform the House of the measures the government is taking to protect workers and create jobs in Quebec?

“We are giving $63 million to 99 businesses hurt by American steel and aluminum tariffs. This will protect jobs across Quebec.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to welcome my colleague, the member for Terrebonne, back to the House. We are working tirelessly on behalf of our workers and businesses affected by the White House’s tariffs. That is why we have announced $63 million for 99 businesses affected by the steel and aluminum tariffs to protect jobs and help these businesses pivot. This helps employees and workers, whether in Terrebonne, Repentigny, Sherbrooke, Quebec City, Montreal or elsewhere across Quebec. I would like to thank my colleague for her excellent work.
