We believe that a national summit should bring together all the players. You alluded to control over the resource. We noted the problem in Newfoundland and we are seeing it again now in Dolbeau-Mistassini. That control rests with the provinces. That's why it is important for the provinces to attend such a summit, along with the federal government, provincial governments, municipalities, First Nations—who also live off the forest—workers, unions, and organizations representing workers and communities. All the players must come together and determine whether this resource can continue to be a source of livelihood for the communities and, if so, how.
What is needed is a plan. It is in that sense that we have been talking about a vision. I agree with you that the Conservatives are not the only ones to lack vision. That applies to AbitibiBowater as well, as I freely admit. However, as Mr. Simard was saying, for years money was paid out in dividends to shareholders, whose pockets were overflowing. But no investments were being made that would have allowed the company to remain on the leading edge in terms of its technology. We need to bring together a large number of players in order to develop a strategy.
