Madam Speaker, this is another slap in the face for Quebec's forestry industry. Yesterday, the government announced $68 million to combat an insect that is ravaging the forests in western Canada, the pine beetle. This is in addition to the $200 million that Ottawa had already invested.
In the meantime, back home, we are having the same problem with the spruce budworm. We are not as lucky as western Canada. The federal government has not invested one cent to help Quebec protect its forests.
When will the government collaborate to combat the spruce budworm problem?
