Madam Speaker, if my colleague is so concerned about the industries he is speaking about, I strongly encourage him to vote for the budget we are putting forward because, first of all, it protects jobs in strategic sectors.
Second, as I said earlier, we are committed to doubling the construction rate. This will help the forestry industry in particular. It will create more jobs. In recent months, one of the vital things we did to address the current situation was to protect jobs through forestry programs. We announced investments of up to $1.2 billion in programs to support forestry. We have been fighting a long time for softwood lumber, and I have been following the situation for a long time. We have come to expect ups and downs, and we are still there for forestry workers.
