Mr. Chair, I want to follow-up on that. Pulp and paper mills across Canada are looking for new ways to maintain their environmental and economic sustainability. One of those is turning the black liquor product, a byproduct of the pulping processes, into heat and power. AV Nackawic in my riding received money for this recently. It makes dissolving pulp to be used in rayon for clothes.
Recently. J.D. Irving's Lake Utopia Paper in New Brunswick received $22 million in funding under the pulp and paper green transformation program to install a new biomass boiler that will reduce the mill's reliance on fossil fuels to power its manufacturing operations and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Could the Minister of Natural Resources tell us more about how this pulp and paper green transformation program is working in reality?
