Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' deplorable management and their inability to diversify our economy are really catching up with them.
Since the holiday break, thousands of jobs have been lost: Target, Sony, Mexx, Suncor, Arianne Phosphate in Chicoutimi, Bombardier in Thunder Bay and La Pocatière, Épicia in Quebec City and central Quebec, and now Tim Hortons, which has also announced layoffs, including 50 in Lachine.
When will the government finally start showing some leadership and introduce measures to breathe some life into our businesses, which create jobs?
