Mr. Speaker, here is another sign of the depressed climate: on Thursday, the executive of Resolute Forest Products announced the permanent closure of paper machine #9 at its mill in Alma. This represents a loss of 85 jobs and some difficult months ahead for many families. My thoughts are with them today.
The worst part is that these jobs will be transferred to Tennessee in the United States.
Will the Conservative government finally do something to protect jobs in our regions and show some leadership with respect to the forestry industry?
