We know there is a major downturn in the housing industry in the U.S. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"449235\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our government and the <a data-HoCid=\"78741\" href=\"/politicians/98/\" title=\"David Emerson\">Minister of International Trade</a> not only resolved the softwood lumber dispute but we have been working with the industry and all of the executives. We announced a few weeks ago $127 million which is flowing now to promote innovation and investment to address the skills and adjustment issues and expand market opportunities. These are the exact issues requested by the industry. It has control of this money. It is directing the priorities and our government is very proud to support it.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"449234\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, nous tenons tout d'abord \u00e0 reconna\u00eetre la difficile p\u00e9riode que traverse l'industrie foresti\u00e8re et sur laquelle elle a peu de contr\u00f4le. Nous savons qu'il y a actuellement un important ralentissement dans l'industrie de la construction r\u00e9sidentielle aux \u00c9tats-unis. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"449235\" data-originallang=\"en\">Non seulement notre gouvernement et le <a data-HoCid=\"78741\" href=\"/politicians/98/\" title=\"David Emerson\">ministre du Commerce international</a> ont r\u00e9solu le conflit dans le domaine du bois d'oeuvre, mais ils ont travaill\u00e9 en collaboration avec l'industrie et tous les dirigeants. Nous avons annonc\u00e9 il y quelques semaines l'octroi d'une somme de 127 millions de dollars. L'argent, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9bloqu\u00e9, sert \u00e0 promouvoir l'innovation et les investissements afin de trouver des solutions aux questions de qualification et d'adaptation de la main-d'oeuvre au sein de l'industrie et de d\u00e9velopper des march\u00e9s. Ce sont les points qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 soulev\u00e9s par les dirigeants de l'industrie. Ce sont eux qui ont le contr\u00f4le sur cet argent et qui \u00e9tablissent les priorit\u00e9s, et notre gouvernement est tr\u00e8s fier de les appuyer. </p>"
