Mr. Chair, all I am hearing from one side of the House are proposals that do nothing to address the current situation. Thousands of jobs, hundreds of thousands of jobs are being lost, and the Build Canada Homes program is not going to bring them back.
That said, with all due respect to my colleague who just spoke, what I took away from his speech was a description of the current situation. There are industries, there are workers, there are job losses and there are negotiations that need to be happen. However, I did not hear any proposals.
I would have liked to know whether he and his party are of the same opinion as the industry and the unions. Among other things, we talked about the possibility of maintaining connections to employment through subsidies. Is my colleague in favour of that measure? It would help companies weather the crisis and let workers know that they have support and will be able to return to their jobs afterwards.
