Madam Speaker, it is very clear why the Conservatives have zero support left in Quebec. Their position today is to try to portray that somehow they had nothing to do with this crisis, even though their decisions all along have continually undermined forestry.
They also have tried to portray this issue as though the opposition simply is not being positive enough with the state of this crisis, yet my hon. colleague and I represent these communities. They are vital communities, communities that were stable for many years, but they have gone down and they have seen absolutely no support from the government.
I want to ask my hon. colleague how credible he thinks the government is in saying that we simply need to be more positive in looking for other markets when it does not have any plan to deal with communities such as Malarctic, La Sarre, the region of Abitibi or the region of the James Bay.
