I know Daniel very well. He is my good friend.
I believe the proposal was a good one, because it would have allowed capital to flow into the forest sector. Companies would have had capital to invest in mills. You are probably aware that many of our mills have lacked investment over a period of time for lots of reasons. One of them is that, so much of the time, profits coming out of the industry have basically gone into these duties, and this has prevented upgrades in the mills.
On the other side of things is, how else can we support the industry? This may mean that until the industry gets stabilized and back on its feet, we have to look at the energy side of things too. Energy is a very big cost in some provinces, but not all. In some provinces, energy is a very big cost to the operations of these mills. That can be looked at. I know Ontario has done a job of looking at the cost of energy for industrial users, particularly in the forest sector, to try to maintain the sector and protect it during these very difficult times.
We should, can and must be looking at any number of things to support the forest sector, not the least of which is access to fibre.
