Madam Speaker, my colleague for Drummond is absolutely right. And he knows the situation very well. What is worse is that the workers in the forestry sector know the situation very well. They are very bitter about the position of the government, and I understand them. If anyone has been following the evolution of this crisis for the past four years, it is the employees from the forestry sector, for whom I have a good thought today. It is not easy for spouses and children when people lose their job. That is the reality. They are the ones members should have in mind when they make decisions here. It is sad to see that the Conservatives, supported by the Liberals, have decided to abandon a whole area of the industrial sector and a whole group of workers.
