Mr. Speaker, I see that the Minister of Finance is on the right track. He himself can apparently see that last year's measures were not enough.
One need only look at the infusion that is needed for defence, security and assistance to the airlines.
Last year, the Minister of Finance could not foresee this year's events, and that is only natural.
Here is what I am asking him to do. Since he has clearly stepped in with respect to security, defence and assistance for the airlines, will he consider extending assistance to businesses, helping workers directly affected by the economic downturn, and sectors other than the airline industry?
