That is a large question; a big purse is needed.
Every time we want to save a pulp mill, we need to modernize it. We are talking about $1 billion to $2 billion of investment. That's the reality of where we are, so enabling that with the right conditions is useful.
A few other things the federal government can work on are helping provinces harmonize a transport policy and helping provinces harmonize fibre costs and access to fibre. There's a large leadership role the federal government can play in different forms. Of course, there is the trade file, and depending on who you have on the other side when you're elected, you have a different problem. Let's acknowledge that first.
There's also this constant leadership role across all the provinces and trying to break down the barrier between the federal and provincial governments. Forestry is a provincial jurisdiction. Commerce trade is a federal one. What's killing all of us in the forestry sector is that we're constantly stuck between the two. We don't have time for a match. We have time to work together.
On the rest, listen: Economics is economics. Whoever is elected will face the same economics. The rest is choice of policy, based on their opinions and choices.
