Small Business

Question period touched on small businesses affected by trade disputes with the United States. Yves-François Blanchet of the Bloc Québécois said the tariff issue was supposed to be resolved by June 2025 and has not been, and asked the government to provide wage subsidies now so small businesses in Quebec can keep their workers and skills while negotiations continue. Mélanie Joly, the Liberal minister, replied that the government is supporting small businesses in Quebec and across Canada, pointing to $1.5 billion in recent funding for the steel, aluminum, and copper sectors, and said the government is working to reach a good trade deal with the United States.Written by AI from the debate.
