They're extremely important. As you probably know, our sawmill in Ear Falls was recently curtailed there and idled. The reality, particularly in smaller communities around Canada, is that this is the economic engine. When a well-paying union job disappears, it impacts the entire community. We see communities being dismantled as a result of that economic engine's disappearing. It's very concerning. It means that the workers are likely displaced and end up having to go and work in other industries, often long distances away from home. Eventually, these communities do not have the support they need for their infrastructure or their services. That is a very big problem.
We have seen this before, particularly in the forest industry in small communities across Canada. That's why it's so incredibly important that we have a national industrial plan to support the forest sector across this country and that they have access to affordable energy so that they can operate these facilities throughout Canada.
