Mr. Speaker, the throne speech did recognize the pressures facing the forestry industry.
We have recognized the importance of the forest industry to the Canadian economy. In the last year and a half we have moved on several fronts. We have resolved the softwood lumber dispute, which the previous government was unable to resolve. We have launched the forest industry long term competitiveness initiative. We have implemented the mountain pine beetle program where that has been a problem in the forest industry. We are supporting new energy initiatives as well.
We have clearly supported the forest industry and we will continue to do that.
