Mr. Speaker, I have bad news. West Fraser has just announced that they will be shuttering its OSB plant in northern Alberta. This is a softwood lumber mill, so to speak, and this comes after the news of many other mills that have been shuttered or shut down over the last number of weeks. I know that the member is from British Columbia, where this has been hard-hitting as well.
Today, the job numbers came out, and we heard about the fact that full-time work is being reduced while part-time work is coming up. I am wondering if the hon. member could talk about that.
