We shouldn't be too pessimistic either. In our industry, printing paper is a declining product, but all other products, such as waferboard and cardboard, are still growing.
The current context is obviously very difficult, and we must ensure that businesses have access to liquidity in the short term. We must also try to unfreeze the US market in every way possible.
That said, I would like to return to a fundamental point that was mentioned. In the medium and long term, we need integrated complexes. At Boisaco, in Sacré-Cœur, we have an integrated complex where the primary processing plant is located next to a waferboard plant, a litter plant and a pellet plant. That is the direction we need to take in the medium and long term.
Currently, fibre is still being used. Paper mills that manufacture printing paper are therefore still in operation. It is not in our interest to cause them to close in the short term.
We need to lay the groundwork in the medium and long term to ensure there are opportunities for fibre. This market will eventually open up if printing paper continues to decline.
That is why it is important to have integrated complexes. This allows for the development of sufficiently significant synergies, including primary processing, to come out on top.
