Mr. Speaker, to put it mildly, this response is ridiculous. The government is hiding behind the special committee on forestry to justify its inaction. It is a well known fact that forestry companies need cash flow. The industry, the Government of Quebec, the unions and the elected regional officials have pointed it out. They need liquidity.
What is the government waiting for to open its ears, respond intelligently and provide the cashflow and loan guarantees that the industry has asked for?
