Mr. Chair, I thank the member for his question. I think the question relating to the Community Development Trust is a very important one. I think it reflects the concern the Government of Canada has about the impact of the forest sector restructuring on communities.
I'm probably not in a very good position to be discussing this, as it's not a program within my own department. It's a program that was initiated through the Department of Intergovernmental Affairs and Finance Canada. As you know, it was a trust that was established to work with provinces and territories to address the impact of restructuring—most particularly in the forest sector but not exclusively in the forest sector—on communities across Canada.
But concerning the deliberations on how the funding will be allocated and the amount of the funding, I'm not in a position to respond to those questions.
Thank you.
