Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There are other issues that we will be dealing with as a committee, but no issue is as important as the issue of softwood lumber. I know in my case in British Columbia, our premier has been asking for clarification around the softwood lumber agreement. So this is the number one issue in international trade. There's no doubt that we have to deal with it, and we should proceed as quickly as possible, because that's our parliamentary responsibility as members of Parliament and as members of the international trade committee.
I can understand that at a later time we'll be adding other issues, but Mr. Paquette is absolutely right, this is the number one issue and we have to deal with it immediately.
