It should be noted that the industry has benefited from very good market prices over the last few months, but, over a 10-year cycle, that is not always the case. Companies will therefore need cash to continue their operations and meet their obligations in the coming months.
If the government created a program to allow them to obtain bank letters of guarantee, it could help them to bear the additional costs and overcome this cash shortfall. You'd have to look at it under the World Trade Organization agreements, the WTO, because you have to know how you do it, but I think this is a great opportunity to support the industry.
The WTO ruling demonstrated beyond a doubt that Canada's forest management practices are consistent with international trade rules. So, pending a decision negotiated and agreed upon by the parties, I think it would be very positive to have such government support.
