Mr. Ste‑Marie, I was saying that we worked with the company and also with the Government of Quebec. I've talked to Quebec's minister of the economy, innovation and energy, Christine Fréchette, a number of times over the past two weeks since the layoffs were announced, and I talked to her about it again yesterday. I've also met with PACCAR union leaders.
The PACCAR plant in Sainte‑Thérèse is the only plant that assembles heavy trucks in Canada. With our buy Canadian policy, our goal is to help companies like PACCAR when Canada makes major purchases. I hope that will also be the case for the Government of Quebec, which can do a lot through Hydro‑Québec and the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec, and for the Government of Ontario and other provincial governments so we can support jobs across the country.
I would be happy to work with the Bloc Québécois on this.
