Madam Chair, in everything I have heard the government say about the trade dispute with the United States, it keeps saying time and again that it is looking for an agreement on steel, aluminum and energy. It is important to understand the sectors involved. Aluminum is produced in Quebec. I know that aluminum processors are struggling, but primary aluminum producers are able to pass on the tariffs. They are able to survive for now, which is not the case for the forestry sector, where the companies are not passing the tariffs on. They are paying them. I do not know of any industry that can operate with a 35% to 45% loss. There are no such industries. No one can do that.
I do not know if they are waiting for companies to drown, but clearly there is either a misunderstanding or a lack of will. The government does not want to deal with the issue. It has not done so since 2019. Now we are in a period where there could be a breakdown, and we could lose the entire industrial landscape that has been developed in Quebec's forestry sector. In my opinion, all regions of Quebec will suffer in a way that the government has yet to calculate.
