Mr. Speaker, I commend you not only for recognizing the riding of Laurentides—Labelle but also for your appointment. Some excellent points have been raised with regard to Bill C-2, which seeks to provide assistance to businesses and individuals. However, as has already been mentioned, we are very disappointed that there is nothing in the bill to help self-employed workers. Does my colleague think that we could improve this bill to ensure that artists can get the help they need? Most of them are low-income.

  • Re: Bill C-2 
Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on her very moving speech. Earlier we heard about how urgent these actions and programs are. There are some people who were not eligible for certain programs, which is unfortunate. Urgent action was needed, but the government decided that an election was more urgent. We could have adopted measures this fall to support people with serious illnesses and self-employed workers who do not get any financial assistance, as my colleague pointed out. What does my colleague think about improving Bill C‑2 to help self-employed cultural workers, which is something the Bloc Québécois is calling for? Does she agree with that?
