I'm sorry about that.
I just wanted to say that I'm pleased that the billion dollars is moving, but it's not going to be enough. We've said from the beginning that it's not going to be enough, when you look at all of the communities that are being affected.
I was in Welland two weeks ago, talking to folks there. There's community after community in that region, the Niagara Peninsula, being hammered by the downturn of the manufacturing sector.
So $1 billion isn't going to do it. Certainly this suggestion and motion by the Bloc is a step in the right direction.
I don't know whether you're interested or not, but if you cross northern Ontario, here are the numbers we're looking at, Mr. Chair. For Tembec in Smooth Rock Falls, there are 230 people; for Tembec in Kapuskasing, 65; for Excel Forest Products in Opasatika it's 78 people; for Tembec in Timmins, 100. The list goes on and on. I could go on for five or ten minutes here.
