Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
In the regions affected by the ice storm, the plight of maple syrup producers is tragic. Their production is seriously threatened and extraordinary measures must quickly be taken to help these people.
Does the minister intend to make changes to the partnership program designed to promote employment, in terms of the budgets allocated to the cleanup of sugarbushes affected by the ice storm, so as to truly meet the needs of maple syrup producers?
