Mr. Chair, I have travelled through B.C. to many pulp mills and sawmills and have spoken to owners and CEOs about the situation they are in. They told me that they do not need a bailout in the form of more loans. They do not need further debt. They have been getting deeper and deeper into debt for the past decade because of the inactions of the government in helping this sector.
They would like to see negotiations. They want to put people to work. They do not want one shift; they want three shifts going 24 hours a day, as they have had in the past.
