Mr. Speaker, businesses have already closed. We are in a red zone. We must take action now, not in a few months.
As I said, the federal government cannot take months to provide assistance. Businesses need it now. The Bloc has been asking for help to cover fixed costs, for example, for six months, to no avail. Financial support for safety measures for school openings arrived one week after the children arrived. In about 50 schools, COVID-19 arrived before the support. We are not making this up.
Time is running out for businesses. Action is needed now.
What will Ottawa do?
