I'm going to come back to Ms. MacNeil shortly. Would it be possible to have the analysts or researchers give us an overview of the investments that were made in the forestry sector? That might be helpful to the committee.
Ms. MacNeil, you brought up the softwood lumber dispute and the need for liquidity. In speaking to a number of stakeholders, I have been told that it's hard to access liquidity and that the federal program is unsuitable because businesses have to be technically bankrupt in order to obtain government support. My fellow member Mr. Zimmer talked about the challenges the dispute poses and the WTO ruling in Canada's favour.
Keeping in mind your purview and the latitude you have to answer, I'd like to know whether it would be smart to develop a loan guarantee program with full knowledge that Canada will come out the winner of this trade war once all the legal proceedings have come to an end.
