She needs to acknowledge that the forestry crisis resulted in 40,000 job losses in Quebec alone. The minister is refusing to recognize that many of those older workers cannot be retrained.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1370980\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The need is urgent. When will the minister announce a program that really supports older workers?</p>",
