However, executives at Kruger said that the company would close its doors because of a large drop in market share. This is unfortunately due to the global economic crisis, and we will continue to support these people.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1606025\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The only way the Liberals supported the forestry industry was to abandon forestry workers from 2000 to 2006, and to not have an agreement with the Americans, our main economic partners. Our government is fixing this, and we will continue to support them.</p>",

Toutefois, les dirigeants de la compagnie Kruger ont bien dit que l'entreprise fermerait ses portes en raison d'une diminution de march\u00e9 importante. Cela fait malheureusement suite \u00e0 la crise \u00e9conomique mondiale et nous continuerons \u00e0 soutenir ces gens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1606025\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mais la seule fa\u00e7on qu'avait trouv\u00e9e le Parti lib\u00e9ral pour soutenir l'industrie foresti\u00e8re a \u00e9t\u00e9 d'abandonner les travailleurs forestiers de 2000 \u00e0 2006 et de ne pas avoir d'entente avec les Am\u00e9ricains, nos principaux partenaires \u00e9conomiques. Notre gouvernement r\u00e9tablit donc cela et nous continuerons aujourd'hui \u00e0 les soutenir.</p>"
