Mr. Chair, I must be the only member of this House who, just before being elected, worked on paper machines. I think I know the forestry industry well. I know what it is like to work 12-hour shifts during the day, at night or on weekends on paper machines. There is no one in this House who can say they know that better than I do.
My colleague, whom I really like, is fighting to protect the environment. I would like to know how she feels when she sees the current government putting billions of dollars into subsidies for the oil and gas industry and not a damn penny for the forestry industry, even though it is the industry that is best positioned to combat greenhouse gases.
