Madam Speaker, I want to talk about the incredible resilience and courage of our entrepreneurs in this difficult time.
I was in Stittsville the other day, an Ottawa area community, where I met with a couple that just opened a brand new pharmacy and another group that opened a bar that employs local residents and serves local customers. One lady suffered through cancer and survived it, started a business and lost that business because of COVID-19. Just last week, she started yet another business. This is the kind of courage and relentless risk-taking that will bring back our country, stronger. It kind of reminds of the saying, “Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger wind, the stronger trees.”
Would the member share with me his view on the role that our courageous and daring entrepreneurs will play in bringing our economy back?
