Thank you for your question.
When we talk about loan guarantees, what we're really talking about is the general issue of access to credit, which is affecting all the sectors and all the companies. Even companies with strong balance sheets are facing problems in accessing credit in this global economic recession.
We view that the financing arrangements available through EDC and BDC are consistent with the softwood lumber agreement. As I said, last year in the forestry industry, $14 billion was accessed, and 534 companies have utilized it.
The reason financing arrangements through EDC and BDC, which are the appropriate channels to go to, are in compliance with the softwood lumber agreement is that they're provided on commercial terms, and they are broadly available to the entire industry sectors across the country, not only in forestry. That is an important statistic, in fact, when dealing with the softwood lumber agreement.
The other aspect that is important to note is that we recognize the issue of access to credit in the economic action plan and have bolstered what has been available at EDC and at BDC in an extraordinary enhanced financing framework in order to allow more companies to take advantage of the facilities of EDC and BDC.
