For the honourable member's information, there are a few provisions in the budget that are not specifically directed to the forest sector but are broadly available. There is additional funding available through the BDC for small and medium-sized businesses. Funding is available through Export Development Canada for exports, but also, as stipulated in the budget, in some instances for domestic financing or insurance. So there are overall provisions to try to facilitate funding for entities that may now be in a better position to approach these institutions.
