“We just announced financial help for manufacturers and small businesses hurt by American tariffs. Also, the Prime Minister is announcing a record-breaking order for Canadian-built airplanes today, which will help Quebec's economy.”

“Mr. Speaker, we just announced one-time assistance. It consists of cashflow support for manufacturers and SMEs affected by the U.S. administration’s unfair and unjustified tariffs. Today, we have good news. As I just mentioned, the Prime Minister is in Mirabel right now to announce the largest aircraft order in Canadian history. The aircraft is one designed and built here in Canada by Canadians. We are extremely proud of that. That is going to help Quebec’s economy.”

“We gave $1.5 billion in help, along with other support for forestry and other industries. The Bloc Québécois should congratulate us and Airbus on a new plane order. They should also support the Alto train project, which will help businesses across Quebec.”

“Mr. Speaker, a one-time boost of $1.5 billion is not insignificant. It also comes on top of the one-time assistance we have provided to the forestry industry and other industries in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada. I would be remiss if I did not draw attention to the Bloc Québécois’s silence in response to the aircraft order. The first thing they should have done today was rise in the House and congratulate this government and Airbus on that order. The second thing they should be doing is support Alto, which will help industries and SMEs across Quebec.”

We will always stand by the workers.”
