“We will support the forestry industry, even with our trade problems with the United States. Today, the Prime Minister is in Quebec to announce billions of dollars for local infrastructure.”

“Mr. Speaker, obviously, we will be there for our forestry industry, just as we have been there for the aluminum, auto and steel sectors. We are indeed facing headwinds on the trade front with the United States, but we will always be there for the people. In fact, the Prime Minister will be in Quebec later today to drum up billions and billions of dollars in infrastructure investments for communities both small and large across Quebec. We will always be there for Quebeckers and for the communities.”

“The forestry industry is going through a hard time. We are working to make government loans available to help these workers and their communities.”

“Mr. Speaker, of course our thoughts are with the workers in Saint-Michel-des-Saints because we know that this is a very difficult time for the forest products sector across the country. That is also why we will be there for them. We currently have a plan for steel, aluminum and copper, which is very beneficial under the circumstances, knowing, of course, that unjustified and unjustifiable tariffs are being imposed on these sectors. However, the Minister of Natural Resources and I are working to ensure that these BDC products can also be made available to the forestry sector. I look forward to working with my colleague on this because we need to support communities across the country.”
