I want to debate it, Mr. Chair, but I won't take very long.
I have here letters that were sent by people in the forest industry and by the Government of Quebec denouncing this interference. I also have a letter that was signed by the Boisaco Group and is addressed specifically to the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. The letter says that:
It is important for the Prime Minister to know that, contrary to what Mr. Guilbeault and some of the other stakeholders are saying, it would be impossible to replace lost volumes with other volumes from neighbouring supply areas.
The letter also says that:
the big ideas whereby it would be essential to plan for a transition of their trades are also a form of magical thinking, especially since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, states that sustainable forest management can play a key role in climate change mitigation.
Technical and scientific explanations will have to be provided by the Boisaco Group on these two topics, and it will take more than one hour for its representatives to explain to us the effects of forest management on climate change and why it is impossible for the Boisaco Group to replace the timber volumes that would be lost and that—
