Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for her speech. It was very insightful.
However, my question is about what the minister mentioned. She mentioned stability in this industry.
When I look at the industry, I see Thunder Bay with a mill that lies basically inoperative. Its line of credit did not work and it could not keep going. Smooth Rock Falls is in the middle of tearing down what it had of its mill. Dryden has a big field where a mill used to be. Now Grant Forest Products in Englehart is having a hard time, and it looks as though it is going to go to American owners. We are losing what we have.
When I hear the word “stability” coming from the minister, I am not sure but she is probably the type that goes into a graveyard and finds it very peaceful. That is not the kind of peace I want in northern Ontario.
I would like to ask the hon. member about the Conservatives' opinion of what stability is and what she thinks of the minister's comments.
