Mr. Speaker, the government is following the situation very closely. We are very concerned about the future of the company, and even more concerned about what happens to the employees of AbitibiBowater. That company has a presence in a number of Quebec communities. That said, what is encouraging is that AbitibiBowater is not throwing in the towel; it is seeking other solutions to implement its financial restructuring.
