Our requests are for emergency support for the industry. For a number of years, for decades, Quebec and Canadian agriculture and forestry have been the source of tax revenue, especially for the federal government, providing very lucrative funding for Canadian society.
Now that we are going through a more difficult time, and other sectors, like the oil industry are filling the government's coffers with unprecedented revenues, it is time for the pendulum to swing back towards the agricultural and forest industries that have sustained this country for years. We are going through a bad time now, so it is time for someone to give us a ride.
