Absolutely.
In other words, we have to work on expanding into new markets and you'll be a little more resilient in the future. However, that's not the key to solving the problem for industry players by and large. At least, that's my understanding. This implies that government action should focus on negotiating an agreement with the Americans. I don't want to play partisan politics, but the Prime Minister recently said once again that he was working on steel, aluminum and energy. However, the softwood lumber issue was being somewhat overlooked.
I understand that you want an agreement that lets you keep access to the American market. A proposal on that has been in the works for some time now, and I'd like to hear your opinion of it. Do you support the idea of the government buying up 50% of countervailing and anti-dumping duties at the end of each month? That would ease the pressure on your cash flow. I know that this is being done already: Big hedge funds are buying up the countervailing and anti-dumping duties of certain companies for speculative purposes. They've practically turned them into a commercial commodity.
Would you approve if the government had a program that allowed that?
