Forestry Industry
Question period touched on the forestry industry, which is facing sawmill closures and difficulties linked to tariffs and trade with the United States. Bloc Québécois members called for a wage subsidy to keep skilled workers employed and asked the government to cover a portion of the duties forestry companies pay, citing a sawmill in Saint-Michel-des-Saints seeking bankruptcy protection with 250 jobs at risk. Liberal ministers said the government would support the sector, as it has for steel, aluminum and auto, pointed to plans to make loans available to affected workers and communities, and noted infrastructure announcements being made in Quebec.Written by AI from the debate.
