Mr. Speaker, we need to take action before industries shut down. Things are bad in the forestry sector, Ottawa knows that, but I do not know if it truly understands.
Yesterday, there were 100 layoffs at Arbec in Port‑Cartier. Last week, workers in Amos learned they would be laid off for Christmas. Last June, there were layoffs in Lac‑Saint‑Jean, Mauricie and elsewhere. After all these job losses, the Liberals still refuse to provide the solutions the industry is calling for. We need wage subsidies and money to compensate for the Americans' illegal tariffs.
Why are the Liberals still waiting?
