I'd like to tell you about something that was discussed in the House of Commons. A motion was moved in the House. I don't know whether you know about this motion, Mr. Arsenault. It was passed by a majority in the House.
It asked the government to put forward four measures.
First there were loan guarantees for forest-dependent businesses and obviously for equipment owners because credit is not available.
Then there were credits for research and development—not non-refundable credits, but refundable credits. Because, when companies aren't making any money, they can't get tax credits. So these would be refundable credits. If someone suffered losses, they'd be refunded.
Next there was increased demand within Canada. For example, if the federal government put up a building, it would have to build with wood; if it did renovations, it would have to use wood; the solution would be wood.
And then there would be the transformation of forest residues into energy.
I'd like to hear what you have to say on the topic. Do you thinks that, if the government put forward such measures, we could say that these are good measures?
