I have one minute, Mr. Chair, one minute to debate each of these amendments, each of these clauses that are contained within the agreement. It's absolutely ridiculous and irresponsible. What we've done so far today is handicapped severely the lumber remanufacturers, put in place a double taxation now on companies who choose the EDC, and taken away the historical Canadian stand on how we approach the issue of related and unrelated people in arm's-length business, something that Canada has always defended between the WTO and NAFTA.
Here we have an opportunity to provide a small degree of administrative convenience in the midst of all these punitive measures that we're going through, and the committee has rejected it, which means that this motion as a whole is something that is not administratively easy or in keeping with the interests of softwood companies across the country, which is where we have to keep our focus.
