Thank you, Mr. Chair.
You stated that the budget included programs aimed at assisting the wood and paper industry. I believe you extolled the virtues of these programs, or at least you spoke very positively about how they could help these industries. During our first meeting on the forestry and paper sectors, we heard from one witness that the programs were ill-suited to the industry. He even went so far as to say that the marketing program was not appropriate, that industry officials were currently in survival mode and in dire need of credit.
Can you tell me if Industry Canada is in a position to say that the wood and paper industry is well acquainted with its programs? Is the information getting out to this industry?
