Mr. Speaker, I have a very quick question for my hon. colleague who brings this motion forward that involves some decent measures concerning his own industry in Quebec.
I recently had a mill close in my riding resulting in the layoffs of 700 people in direct jobs and a little over 1,600 people in indirect jobs.
In my province alone, the provincial government is the only player in town when it comes to silviculture, the planting of trees. Why is this measure about the federal government becoming involved once again in the investment in silviculture and in the renewal of our forests not in the motion?
