Mr. Speaker, one of the giants of our forestry industry, AbitibiBowater, is facing serious financial difficulties. Employees are worried and nervous, and the Conservatives are doing nothing to reassure them. While they give billions of dollars to the Ontario auto industry, they are providing only minimal assistance to the forestry industry.
Although they managed to find $2.7 billion for the Ontario auto industry, the Quebec forestry industry must share a measly $170 million over two years with the rest of Canada. Is that what they mean by federalism that is open to Quebec?
