Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Of course, I would have liked to be there in person, but I'm attending by videoconference because, as you well know, our leader Pierre Poilievre is in my area. This afternoon, he'll be meeting with representatives of the Boisaco Group. That's why I wasn't able to travel there, but I was very happy that a meeting was being held today.
On two occasions, we tried to invite the Standing Committee on Natural Resources to address this, but the Bloc Québécois refused each time. So I was very pleased to attend today's meeting.
At our offices, we're getting calls from people who are almost in distress. We meet people on the street. Some municipalities are suffering and will suffer the effects of this order on the forestry industry. People are very concerned because it could put businesses and even some municipalities where the majority of people work in the forestry industry out of business. Our leader Pierre Poilievre and our party trust in Quebec. It's up to Quebec to protect the industry and caribou.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
