Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions
“We are supporting small businesses across Canada and in Quebec. We recently gave $1.5 billion to steel, aluminum, and copper companies. We are also working to get a good trade deal with the United States.”
“Mr. Speaker, it goes without saying that we are there for our businesses, especially our SMEs. We are there for businesses in Quebec and across Canada. In fact, just one month ago, we announced some new funding: $1.5 billion for the steel, aluminum and copper sectors. I have been in contact with a number of stakeholders in Quebec and across Canada. They are very grateful for our help. In the meantime, while the Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade is in Washington, we will be there, not just for any agreement, but for a good agreement for Canadians.”
