The first thing is to recognize that you can't save them all. It's not going to go back to the way it was. Not all the communities are going to exist. Not all will stay the same size. What you want to do is give the communities the capacity to make those struggles that will let them survive. That's why I talked about the human capacity building to allow the training, education, supports, and start-up businesses. It's those kinds of things.
I don't think it's going to do a lot of good to pay everybody while they're laid off, until we figure out what to do with them. I don't think it's going to help solve the problem. Facilitate their finding their own solutions, because the solution in a town in northern Quebec is not the same as a solution in a town in coastal British Columbia. One size doesn't fit all. Different people have different skills and different abilities. Different communities have different resiliency. For some it works by developing a community forest and expanding that way. I'd say supporting community forests is one way of helping communities find different ways of managing forests to be more sustainable for that community.
It's trying to empower the local people and give them a hand up rather than a handout, which I guess is a cliché, but I'm a professor, so I use those.
