First of all, there is a question of principle. When the government implemented an action plan to address the economic situation, it did point out that its measures would be temporary. We believe that temporary programs should remain temporary. Once they have helped achieve the expected results, they should be terminated, and other programs devised. There are sectors or industries with different circumstances.
The forestry sector was not only affected by the recession; it faces a structural problem, particularly in Quebec. Therefore, with regard to the forestry sector, among others, and regardless of the fact that the economic action plan is winding down, we believe that it is important to give it special consideration. Forestry is a key sector because of the number of people it employs in Quebec and the impact it has on Quebec's regions, in particular the Mauricie, which has the highest unemployment rate in the province. The situation varies across Quebec; some regions are more deeply impacted than others. The same must be true in the other provinces.
Clearly, special consideration should be given to certain sectors, including the forest industry. The same goes for the aerospace industry. Rather than an immediate impact, the recession has led to longer-term consequences on manufacturers' order books, and the sector will need time to recover.
Therefore, some sectors are facing greater impacts. The question is not to have an overarching plan for all sectors, but to make sure that those industries that have been hit hardest or that face particular circumstances will be given special consideration in upcoming budgets.
