Mr. Speaker, nothing has worked and we have families out of work.
The government has known for a long time that this decision was coming. Warnings came from everywhere, from forestry communities, the industry, labour groups and many times from the member for Vancouver Island North. The government has not been listening.
We have all learned something, especially the senior minister from British Columbia, the Minister of Natural Resources, who is all talk and no action, but he has learned at the feet of the master, the Prime Minister.
Will the Prime Minister tell the House now what his action plan is and when he will release details of this contingency plan for the people who are unemployed?
