Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Quebec announced that businesses in the red zone would stay closed until November 23. We are entering the second month of the second wave, but entire sectors of our economy are still waiting for Ottawa to help with fixed costs for the first month. These businesses are closer than ever to bankruptcy.
The government missed the mark with its rent relief for SMEs in the first wave, and it was not there during the first month of the second wave. When will the government finally table a real assistance program for fixed costs in the House, one that effectively meets the needs of Quebec's SMEs? I want a date.
