Mr. Speaker, I would like to know what my hon. colleague thinks of the lack of action we tend to see on the part of the government when it comes to the forestry industry, which is struggling to survive in different regions. For instance, in northern Manitoba, where I am from, part of the region continues to really depend on the forestry industry. The companies have not shut down, and people are still working. What concerns them is that the government is not supporting those industries that continue to operate. Attention has to be paid not only to the regions that have already lost that part of their economy, but also to supporting the regions where companies are surviving and need help.
