Madam Speaker, I am on the ground every weekend. The hon. member for Chicoutimi—Le Fjord mentioned the people of my riding but he never went to these plants and these shops. I was there and I met the people.
Of course, I cannot say they are 100% happy. We have to keep on working. There is an economic crisis, there is a crisis in the forestry industry and it is a question of market. If these people can sell their lumber, they will not ask for any loan guarantees. Trucks will be running, the forest industry will be prosperous and companies will cut even more wood.
These people know that it is a market issue. Some would like to make a political crisis out of an economic crisis. People know very well that we are working for them and they want us to do more. We will keep on doing our work, fully aware of the problems these people have to contend with. I for one have chosen to be where the action is and where decisions are taken to make a difference in our future.
