This is a kangaroo court, Mr. Chair. It is absolutely absurd what has happened here today. We'll be making sure we get out right across this country; we'll be making sure independent lumber remanufacturers in the Okanagan and northern B.C. know what has transpired here today, making sure that all aspects of the deal being rammed through today are known to the public at large.
We have amendment 15 that asks for cooperation with the provincial and territorial governments; that is the amendment I move.
But this is absolutely ridiculous. This is the most deplorable episode I think in parliamentary history that I'm aware of; this softwood lumber sellout and egregiously poorly written bill is being rammed through with no debate.
