We certainly do not intend to oppose any positive steps. The problem is that you have provided more support to Ontario than to Quebec, even though the crisis there, notably in the forest industry, is just as significant. In Quebec, making one's livelihood from the forest is a priority. We do not have an automotive industry in Quebec, but we do have a forest industry. And, there is a global crisis affecting softwood lumber and trade in lumber with Canada. As for work sharing, some people have taken advantage of it, but very few people have had an opportunity to do so. We believe the government has to do more.
