The CAQ is clearly on the wrong track by imposing the closure of businesses on Sundays, according to the PLQ.
The official opposition spokesperson for the economy, Monsef Derraji, has difficulty in explaining how this decision can have beneficial effects when increased traffic has been observed in the various businesses, in particular in grocery stores. last Saturday.
Several traders and groups of traders have also strongly denounced this measure in recent days. They even cite studies showing that it is rather an extension of opening hours that would further contribute to distance inside shops.
In addition, Mr. Derraji believes that by putting in place this kind of counterproductive measures, the CAQ government is only seeking to make political communication rather than proposing real solutions that have proven their worth.
“The CAQ creates a diversion by announcing inadequate measures to hide its loss of control in the fight against COVID. The government is pulling in all directions to make people believe that it is acting without ensuring the real benefits of its new restrictions. Imposing the closure of businesses on Sundays only makes matters worse by causing greater traffic on Saturdays, ”denounces the Liberal MP for Nelligan.
