Mr. Speaker, we are aware of the effects associated with this closure, and my colleague from Chicoutimi—Le Fjord immediately contacted me so that we could look together at ways to monitor this situation.
For several years now, Canada Economic Development has worked hard to develop the aluminum processing sector, and we succeeded in setting up a $57 million research centre. All regional strategic initiatives, in that region, focus on aluminum processing.
So, yes, we are going to monitor this situation closely.
