Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, I would like to welcome you and thank you for being here today.
I listened attentively to your presentations, and I realize that they are complementary. Mr. Poloz's presentation contains some interesting figures. As for the Business Development Bank of Canada, we heard that it did not want to get into the details of its investments.
I am a member for Quebec, where the forest industry is very much in the news. We heard from industry representatives, who were calling loudly for loan guarantees, something the government has refused up to now, stating that they are illegal. Export Development Canada, which focuses more on promoting importing or exporting by our businesses, provided 446 forestry sector businesses with $2 billion worth of support. Close to half of those businesses are from Quebec. It would be interesting to know, for information purposes, what type of support you have granted to forestry companies.
