Madam Speaker, I really appreciate the member's passion and support for the forest industry in Canada. I certainly share those views.
During the reign of the Harper Conservatives, Canada lost 134,000 jobs in the forest sector, including 42,000 jobs lost in Quebec alone. As well, during those years, many mills closed down and many small rural communities were hard hit and have yet to recover.
How can you seriously expect Canadians to trust your party to come up with effective solutions that truly support a sustainable forest industry in Canada?
