Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Let's come back to your passion, Mr. Cormier.
I completely understand your point when you say we need to value and create added value to fibre as a whole. I think we all agree on that.
Quebec's forestry sector has two models that are quite effective. There's your bioeconomic model, and there's the Chantiers Chibougamau model, which produces glued-laminated timber.
When we talk to people at Chantiers Chibougamau, we always get the same response, which is that it happens over a 15 to 20-year period. At present, the problem is that we need to develop new markets and, simultaneously, new products. This isn't possible.
I liked your response earlier. You said that, within 24 months, we could deploy new technologies comparable to what you have.
That said, the committee and government need to be aware that we are in the middle of a crisis and we need to deal with that before thinking about developing new products and new markets.
I would like to know what you and Mr. St‑Gelais think about that.
What can we do? What's the best way, for government, to deal with this crisis?
Next, we could do two things, which is to develop new markets and develop new products.
What needs to be done first?
