Mr. Speaker, voicing concern is one thing, but taking action is another.
The forestry industry was already at the breaking point before the new tariffs were announced on Saturday. No other industry has taken a harder hit from Washington than this one. Even so, the financial assistance announced by the Liberals in August is still on hold nearly three months later. There are still no wage subsidies to protect jobs and there is no rescue plan. To top it all off, Ottawa has cut measures to facilitate access to employment insurance. The crisis is not over; it is getting worse.
When will the Liberals step up for the forestry industry?
