But even if they are Canadian, can the suppliers use materials that come from elsewhere, Mr. Minister? That’s my question: if we talk of Canadian content, how does it work in terms of fabric, lumber, wood chips used for secondary or tertiary processing? We are all aware of the current crisis in the lumber industry. How can we promote the procurement of Canadian materials? It’s a quasi-indirect benefit, but it should be a direct benefit.
