Mr. Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay (Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, BQ)

Mr. Speaker, Ottawa is betraying Quebec's aerospace industry. Commenting on the budget, Aéro Montréal laments the lack of meaningful measures to help SMEs. As if that were not enough, Ottawa is actually undermining our industry. The Liberals are handing Boeing a $9‑billion military contract on a silver platter, excluding Bombardier and not giving Quebec one penny in economic spinoffs. When will Ottawa start supporting Quebec's aerospace industry instead of giving our money to our American competitors without a tender process?

Mr. Speaker, it would seem that Ottawa is doing it on purpose. Not only is there nothing in the budget for the future of the aerospace industry, but the Liberals are maintaining a poorly named and ill-conceived luxury tax that will prevent our industry from selling its planes at competitive prices. Not only is Ottawa not doing anything to get us more contracts tomorrow, but it is ensuring that there will not be any today either. Right now, 2,000 jobs are in jeopardy if the Liberals keep the tax as is. Will they finally suspend it so that the mistakes can be fixed before jobs are lost?
