Madam Chair, I have had the good fortune of being able to talk about this issue on numerous occasions, whether it was about the softwood industry or the hardwood industry, just generally speaking about the types of things we can do to make a difference and support the industry while we are going through these difficult times. For example, there is the buy Canada plan and the expansion of building homes in Canada. These things all help.
There are also the financial support programs that the government is providing, such as direct support for employees, and we are looking at loan support for the industry. The government recognizes there is a need to support the industry and the workers during a difficult time, and that means, at the end of the day, that we do have to continue to work.
To try to imply that the government does not care is very misleading. To try to imply that the government is not aware of the details of the issue is very misleading. We do care, and we will continue to work on the issue.
