Madam Chair, I want to clarify something. In Abitibi-Témiscamingue, 600 people have temporarily lost their jobs in the forestry industry over the past year. Obviously, these people still have hope.
That said, the forestry industry is an entire ecosystem. There are forestry contractors who work and invest in machinery, who take out loans ranging from $100,000 to $300,000 for machinery without any guarantees. These people have not received any support from the government. Is there no way to propose solutions that are tailored to their situation?
It is all well and good to talk about Donald Trump, the United States and how to proceed, but there are people suffering on the ground. How is the government going to help them? I look forward to hearing some solutions.
