Mr. Speaker, I talked a bit about that during my speech, so if the member does not mind I want to talk about some of the other initiatives that we brought forward that I did not get to during my speech. I will certainly talk to the member a little later about the specifics, if he is willing.
I want to point out that we put money into a number of other initiatives. There are $12.5 billion to support a national forest pest strategy and another $10 million over two years to demonstrate our leadership on environmental innovation and forest sustainability.
We worked really well with the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers. Both ministers of natural resources who I have been privileged to work with have been leaders in that area, in bringing together implementation on things like a national wildland fire strategy, the forest pest strategy that I mentioned, and a vision for Canada's forests.
One thing that has been very interesting to me in being part of the natural resources file is the geomapping that Natural Resources is responsible for. There is funding through geosciences and GeoConnections for forestry-related projects in terms of mapping and those kinds of things.
That combined with many other things, including the $9 billion in tax relief that we brought to the forestry sector, gives me a lot of hope for the industry. We need to look forward and continue to develop those markets and new technology, and then we can move ahead successfully.
