Mr. Speaker, we are focused on the future. As I mentioned, there are a number of initiatives. The $1 billion community adjustment fund certainly comes to mind in terms of communities making adjustments that have taken place because of changes in their economy.
I need to point out a couple of the other investments we have made that may impact places where traditional mills have shut down. We have included a special $170 million forestry sector package which focuses $120 million on innovation, such as finding new products and working on new fibre products for the future. It also includes $50 million on market expansion, trying to find new markets for new products and for the old products that we have had in the past. A strategic $120 million investment is being made to ensure Canada continues to be a leader in developing and demonstrating innovative and sustainably produced forest products.
Through FPInnovations, the federal government has supported revolutionary research regarding the application of nanotechnology in the forestry industry. Certainly the forestry industry is changing over the years, and we will be there for the workers and the communities.
