Mr. Speaker, jobs are being lost throughout Quebec: in Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean, in Abitibi, in northern Quebec and on the North Shore.
It is a catastrophe when half the workers in small cities and towns are losing their jobs because of the forestry crisis.
The Conservative minority government has denied that this problem even exists until now. It has dragged its feet for nine months.
What does the Prime Minister intend to do to help these towns, to help these families and to help these workers? Why has he done nothing up to now?
