Madam Speaker, the Prime Minister was elected because he promised that he would resolve the tariff and trade crisis very quickly, but things just keep getting worse. It is extremely concerning to see that jobs are being lost in Quebec right now. We are losing jobs that might not have been lost if the government had invested in and listened to forestry companies, for example, which are asking for very simple support measures. These companies are asking for help in paying the countervailing duties by receiving the money up front.
What we are seeing is a government that has hardly implemented any measures so far but that is still giving money to oil and gas companies. There are no oil and gas companies in Quebec. Perhaps other sectors of our economy could benefit from this money.
As of now, negotiations with the U.S. administration have been a complete failure.
