The first question is, where are their paycheques? Are they going to be able to continue? Are there going to be layoffs, or will they even suffer from a permanent closure? Not far from you, up in your neck of the woods in northeastern B.C., across the border, the Fort St. John mill I referenced is going to close almost completely due to the current and pending softwood lumber duties. It's not about fibre supply. There's a good fibre basket out there. It's not about a lack of workforce. There's a good workforce in Fort St. John. Canfor came out and said that mill closure is almost completely due to the softwood lumber tariffs increasing this year and doubling next year.
To your question, they're wondering how they're going to pay their mortgages. They're wondering how they're going to pay their bills. I hearken back to the point I'm making about our folks, our membership, living in largely rural communities. It's not as easy these days, in a housing market where you can't just sell your house and move to Vancouver or even move to Edmonton or Calgary. You can't just pick up and move your house. It's not that easy anymore. These folks, if they lose their jobs, they'll have to find work. Maybe they'll be working in northern Alberta, I don't know, but maybe they'll have to then do remote work.
It's creating a tremendous amount of stress to my membership, for sure.
