Thank you, Mr. Simard.
The program was announced on August 5 by Prime Minister Carney, and it was just this weekend that the program went live. I talked to three of our lumber-producing members this morning, just to see how the experience has been, and it has to be done through the financial institutions, through the banks. So far, our members have not been able to access the loans, but the program and the discussions are continuing.
We are going to keep providing the ministry with feedback on the rollout of that program. Mr. Thériault is entirely correct that the money is going to be fully utilized very quickly across the industry.
