Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I too am pleased to welcome those who are making presentations today, namely Mr. Patry and Mr. Chevrette, who respectively represent the CSN and the forestry sector.

I will start with a question for Mr. Patry. Earlier, Mr. Chevrette mentioned that more than 40,000 jobs were lost in the forestry sector alone in Quebec. Could you indicate how many jobs were lost in the manufacturing sector in Quebec over the last three or four years?
