Once again, we see the right-wing ideology of this minister. He's telling us that we're hiding our heads in the sand and he's convincing himself of that. He is also convincing himself that there is equal competition in the world in which we live. Let's look at the facts. Black liquor, a by-product of the pulping process, used as fuel, has been around for a century. However, the Americans are adding 0.5% diesel to it, and miraculously, this by-product of an industrial process that has been around for a century has become a biofuel, which allows them to get subsidies totalling several billion dollars.
You talked about doing something to help Canada deal with this situation, but you still haven't done anything. The Americans are cheating in ways that are strictly not allowed, but you are hiding your head in the sand; you are sticking your head in the sand and not doing anything to allow us to be competitive.
You are in London now, and you're telling us that there's nothing in the softwood lumber agreement that would prevent Canada from granting loan guarantees at a competitive rate, at market rates. That's your position legally, before the tribunal in London, but each time you stand up in the House, it's to say that you are not entitled to it. There is an egregious contradiction in those two positions.
