Mr. Speaker, the people of Miramichi, Bathurst, Chipman, Minto and Madawaska, all through northwest and northeastern New Brunswick, know that the softwood lumber industry is a key part of our economic future, but the tariffs are putting our workers and businesses in jeopardy.
That is why we put real solutions on the table: $700 million in support through the Business Development Bank, $500 million for retooling and $50 million for workers' supports. That is alongside the strategic response fund, which helps our business owners pivot and adapt. This is the kind of support we need in New Brunswick and across Canada.
