Mr. Bouchard, for us, the manufacturing sector includes all sectors, including, of course, wood and the forest sector. So a manufacturer is ultimately someone who makes a product that he can sell, something tangible. It's not a service; it's more of a product that you can touch. That may be in the plastics sector, in the forest sector, the automotive sector, the metals sector.
The answer to your question is yes. We don't discriminate by sector at BDC. If the entrepreneur's project makes sense, if the survival of the business makes sense, we'll examine it and act on it. We are engaged in the fisheries sector, a sector that has not been privileged over the years. We are involved in the forest sector as well, and we know there are issues there. Obviously everything depends on the financial situation of the business, but also on the ability of the management team in place. That's very important for us at BDC. We consider whether the management team has a business recovery plan, to enable the business to get through the difficult period, and whether the business is able, among other things—as my colleague from EDC mentioned earlier—to examine the future and consider whether it isn't able to succeed elsewhere than in its local market, in Quebec or Canada, whether there aren't other markets that it should consider. Ultimately, we really look for entrepreneurs who have sound plans. These are the people we support and assist in getting through the tough times.
When a business is in difficulty, does not have a recovery plan and is unable to reinvest in its business, we won't necessarily take the place of a lender. However, if it has a good recovery plan, if we believe in it, if we trust the management team and it makes sense economically, yes, we'll support it.
