We're looking at any and all reasonable action to help workers and producers. We also have a long historical record, dating back to 1982 in the common era, of what the impact of these countervailing duties and anti-dumping duties have been on communities, so we are able to anticipate. It's not the same situation now as it was 10 years ago. The economic situation is different. The American housing situation is not the same, and currency fluctuations are not identical. However, we have enough background to know what we should expect to happen once the total quantum of the duties is known.
We will look at every reasonable opportunity, not only in the short term—I think you've named ways in which governments can help in the short term—but also in the transition over a decade or more. We believe that because of the realities of climate change, the forestry sector should become a very important part of a new natural resource economy for Canada, where Canada can lead the world. In the longer term, I am optimistic about how the industry will adapt, but we're going to have to make sure that in the short term, governments—governments across the country and the Government of Canada, not only in my department, but in departments that have more direct impact on laid-off workers, and in government departments that have more impact on the capacity to use financial institutions to help companies now, in the short term....
I just want you to be assured that we are taking every effort to make sure that we can do whatever is reasonable in the circumstance—both now and looking at the next generation of forestry workers—to withstand these punitive countervails from the United States.
