Mr. Speaker, the hon. member should stand up and congratulate the government for a $250 million package to respond to workers, to respond to communities, to make sure we have a competitive industry that can compete anywhere in the world. This is a program which ensures that for those workers who are affected and communities that are affected and provides for research and development. In Quebec $23 million will go toward making sure that the pulp and paper industry can be competitive. This should be applauded, not criticized, by the opposition.
