If it took time to see the impact of the order and to put in place a new agreement that would benefit domestic industries, a temporary solution would have to be found. Small and medium-sized businesses have come here to suggest that, if it lasted several months, it might be useful to reinstate a targeted and temporary wage subsidy to help businesses retain their specialized labour until it is resolved.

What do you or your members think of those two suggestions?
