In the past four years, 100,000 jobs have been lost in Quebec manufacturing, 35,000 in the last year alone. And what is the government doing? It simply lowers taxes for companies that do not pay any because they are not making a profit. That is known as the laissez-faire approach.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"449149\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Will the Prime Minister admit that his strategy for helping Quebec manufacturers is not a strategy at all but an outright failure?</p>",

En fait, depuis quatre ans, ce sont 100 000 emplois qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 perdus dans les manufactures du Qu\u00e9bec, dont 35 000 l'an dernier. Et que fait le gouvernement? Il se contente de r\u00e9duire les imp\u00f4ts pour les entreprises qui n'en paient pas parce qu'elles ne font pas de profits, ce qui s'appelle du laisser-faire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"449149\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le premier ministre admettra-t-il que sa strat\u00e9gie d'aide aux entreprises manufacturi\u00e8res qu\u00e9b\u00e9coises n'en est pas une puisqu'elle constitue un \u00e9chec sur toute la ligne?</p>"
