Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to assure the member, first of all, that we are working in very close coordination. The role of the Government of Canada in relation to the forest industry is a fairly diverse one. I want, first of all, just to assure you that we work very closely together. Certainly, from the perspective of Natural Resources Canada, we are very focused on working with the industry on issues related to competitiveness and the sustainability of the forest resource.
There are other initiatives and other roles that are shared with the provinces that we are also, of course, engaged in, and one of those is in the area of adjustment and support to workers. But as you would appreciate, that's not an area that is focused on out of Natural Resources Canada, but rather in other parts of departments....
I feel that the work we are doing in the department in supporting the industry through the restructuring is very complementary to the Community Development Trust and its aims to support communities and workers while we go through a very difficult restructuring within the forest industry.
So I want to assure you that we are working in close coordination.
I would just say that I'm not in a position to be answering detailed questions on the Community Development Trust, but I would say it is entirely complementary with the thrust of my department, which is to ensure competitiveness and the sustainability of the sector.
