Mr. Speaker, I would remind hon. members across the way that a period of questions should be followed by a period of answers.
I will try again. The forestry sector, the unions, l'Union des municipalités du Québec, and the Government of Quebec have been calling for the same thing that the Bloc Québécois has been trying to get an answer to for months. How many times do we need to ask the same question?
A new softwood lumber crisis is set to begin in 20 days. It is said that this crisis will affect workers and families in entire regions, but it is already affecting them.
We need a clear response immediately. Stop toying with people's emotions.
I will repeat my question. Will the government give loan guarantees to the forestry industry to help it cope with the new crisis or not?
