"Sustainable benefit" trust fee "Pay only necessary expenses" Prime Minister June 8 19:28
The second supplementary budget for new coronavirus measures was deliberated, and representative questions were asked at the plenary session of both Houses of Representatives. Prime Minister Abe will settle the outsourcing costs of "sustainable benefits" to SMEs after the end of the business, pay only the necessary costs to the outsourcee, and pay the benefits to the operator as much as possible. I showed you the idea of turning to.
In a question and answer at the plenary session of the House of Representatives, Mr. Kensuke Onishi of the National Democratic Party over "sustaining benefits" "The commissioned council outsources 2 billion yen and re-entrusts it. There is a suspicion of a "tunnel organization". Can I say that there is no cloud in the procedure?"
On the other hand, Prime Minister Abe said, "In light of the fact that it is necessary to handle a wide variety of tasks with a sense of speed, there is no uniform upper limit for subcontracting, and the appropriate ministries and agencies should implement appropriate budget execution in light of the business purpose. Of course, there should be no waste of money. Consignment expenses should be settled after the project ends, and only the truly necessary expenses should be paid. It is natural that it should be paid to the operator as much as possible. That's it."
Regarding the commission cost for the "Go To Campaign", Prime Minister Abe stated that "I have added the amount in reference to past campaigns to stimulate consumption, but the amount is only the upper limit, and only the actual expenses will be paid. ".
“The support for fixed costs such as employment adjustment subsidies and personnel expenses and rents have been expanded, but I hear some people say that the support is not readily available. To protect it, early execution of the first supplementary budget and early establishment and execution of the second supplementary budget plan are indispensable, and we should do our best to provide support as soon as possible."
In response to this, Prime Minister Abe said, ``We are putting all our efforts into focusing on speed above all else, but with the approval of the second supplementary budget as soon as possible, we will take every possible measure and need support measures. We are determined to protect employment, business activities, and lives by promptly delivering them to the people who have them.”
In addition, in connection with the consecutive cancellation of national competitions for high school students' sports and culture, "If the infection situation calms down, it may be possible to hold local competitions and national competitions. We will support the hosting of the competition, etc. We will firmly support the students to prepare an irreplaceable stage where they can play a leading role.”
“I need to establish and practice “new lifestyles” and industry-specific guidelines, but I need the cooperation of the people. What kind of efforts should be taken to spread behavior change widely? Or are you thinking of support measures?"
In response to this, Prime Minister Abe said, “The government will actively strive to disseminate information by utilizing videos and SNS. Each industry group will have guidelines for infection prevention based on the advice of experts. Therefore, the government will provide support measures such as raising the upper limit of sustainable benefit and support the implementation of infection control measures in accordance with the guidelines."
In a question and answer at the plenary session of the House of Councilors, Yoshio Arita of the Constitutional Democratic Party, regarding distribution of cloth masks to all households across the country, said, "Do you think the people's anxiety was resolved with "AbenoMask? Why distribution was delayed?" What kind of explanation did you receive?"
In response, Prime Minister Abe said, ``If all the people use disposable masks every day, the demand will exceed 3 billion pieces per month, and the situation will continue to be severe to secure sufficient supply. Reusable cloth masks can be expected to have a great effect in suppressing the increase in demand and restoring the supply-demand balance.Although distribution is delayed than expected due to strengthened inspection, etc., it can be delivered as soon as possible. We will continue to work on it."
In addition, Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Kato is expected to finish distributing about 97 million copies by the 8th, and indicated that he would like to complete the distribution by the middle of this month.
“It is essential to stimulate consumption and stimulate consumption in order to revive the economy.” The Japan Restoration Association has a bill to raise the consumption tax rate to 8% for the time being. I submitted it, but are you thinking of lowering the consumption tax rate?"
In response to this, Prime Minister Abe said, "Consumption tax is an essential financial resource for Japan, whose population is rapidly aging, in order to build social security that allows all generations, from young people to elderly people, to feel at ease. With a business scale of over 230 trillion yen and 40% of GDP, which is the world's largest measure, we will protect the Japanese economy from a crisis once every 100 years."
The Communist Party's Yoshio Yamashita said, "A huge reserve of 10 trillion yen is enough to cover the fiscal democracy stipulated in the Constitution. The government mentioned about 5 trillion yen out of 10 trillion yen, but You just need to make a clear budget and correct it in the Diet."
In response to this, Prime Minister Abe said, "We are taking contingency measures to cover an unforeseeable budget shortfall. It is necessary to look at the 5 trillion yen, which has been used, with some margin. Therefore, it is difficult to add a specific budget amount. Regarding the use of contingency, we will report to the Diet in a timely and appropriate manner, and we will discuss well how to report it in the future.” ..
