Thank you.
Minister, this morning's announcements concern direct exporters. My question is about indirect exporters.
We learned during committee meetings that exporters' suppliers are often the ones affected by the 25% tariffs. If exports decline, exporters buy fewer products from their suppliers. Are there any support measures for those suppliers?
If you don't have the answer right now, that's fine. You can send it to us later.
Is the Business Development Bank of Canada's loan program available now?
As for the forestry industry loan program announced in August, we asked you about it all fall, before the program became available. Access isn't expected until December, even though the situation is urgent.
