Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Madam Minister. Thank you for your speech.
I am delighted to have the opportunity to ask you a question today. I will get straight to the point. In your speech, you talked about the hardest‑hit sectors, including the tourism sector, which we welcome in Bill C‑2. When you say “particularly the tourism sector”, it also means that other sectors are being hit very hard, and have been since the beginning of the pandemic.
It isn't only inflation that is a global phenomenon, supply chain issues are as well, as you know. There have been international plant closures and a decline in the production of key parts in some sectors, including microprocessors, which are essential for many sectors of the economy.
In addition, due to problems with maritime transport, some companies are being hit very hard, especially in the aerospace sector. We would like a clear commitment from you. Will these companies be able to receive at least as much help as the tourism sector can get, especially if we present you with the figures and see how badly these companies are affected?
Thank you.
