Prime Minister Stephen Harper's coming Throne Speech should include concrete measures to help Quebec's manufacturing industry, specifically the forestry sector, the leaders of the Bloc Québécois and the Quebec Federation of Labour said yesterday.

Value added production would help, the problem is finding those who are willing to put in the great investment to start up facilities, and the guarantee of a steady wood supply to such facilities.
