Madam Speaker, certainly new markets could be explored, and that is why we are calling for loan guarantees and loans for our companies to do research and development, which will help them to stabilize. As well, when we talk about the 2009 budget and the $170 million granted for the forestry sector, we can only lament the low priority the government is giving it, when we know that $2.7 billion is being given to the auto industry in Ontario.
We have to understand that the auto industry represents 500,000 workers, but the forestry industry represents 825,000 workers. We can see that their priorities are misplaced. We can see that when the government created this trust fund and this assistance for communities, it allocated the money unfairly.
We also understand what the member is saying, that the amounts are inadequate.
