We put new tools in place and we also created a $1 billion trust to better support the manufacturing sector, in addition to bringing in capital cost allowance measures to enable entrepreneurs to buy new equipment and benefit from accelerated amortization. Mr. Speaker, because of the Conservative government's laissez-faire policy—which was advocated by the former minister of Industry, the member for Beauce, who has been bragging about being in power—the manufacturing sector has been in crisis for two years.
D'ailleurs, on a mis en place de nouveaux outils et, en plus, on a créé Fiducie Canada — un milliard de dollars pour mieux soutenir le secteur manufacturier —, plus des mesures au niveau de l'amortissement pour faire en sorte que les entrepreneurs puissent acheter de nouveaux équipements et avoir un amortissement accéléré.
