Mr. Speaker, we are not waiting. We are in the process at this time of preparing programs and approaches to assist the affected communities.
In fact, last week I visited two communities, Saint-Fulgence and Saint-Honoré, in the Saguenay--Lac-Saint-Jean region, which is greatly affected by the crisis.
I spoke with the workers, and with the mayors. I assured them, and reassured them, that very soon we will be there with funds to help them turn their economy around.
