Madam Speaker. I agree with my colleague. I will try to be less harsh. I am not saying that the government does not want to do anything. I am saying that the government does not seem to fully understand the impact of the crisis. If all the forestry industry workers were in the same place, the crisis would have the same impact as the crisis affecting the automotive industry in Windsor, in southern Ontario. The problem is that the forestry industry crisis affects small businesses spread out in many places, generally in small communities.
We are asking the government to show some sensitivity. When a business is forced to close down in a community of 200 people, it never comes back. That is why help is being requested. The industry is not asking for cash. It just wants loan guarantees.
