The Minister of Industry of Canada stated that the decision by Amazon to close all warehouses in Quebec and cut about 2000 jobs is 'very disappointing' for the provincial government. He noted that the situation is quite complex at this moment, and it is important to ensure support for all affected workers. 'We will work in the near future to do everything necessary to assist those who lost their jobs due to this decision,' he added.
Initial steps have already been taken to organize meetings with affected employees to discuss their further actions. The minister also added that the Quebec government is ready to provide the necessary support for those who will be left without jobs. 'We will work on ensuring retraining and assistance in finding new opportunities for those who suffered from this situation,' the minister concluded.
