I think everyone on this side does appreciate the importance of the softwood lumber industry to Canadians and the Canadian economy. However, I think that having a round table may be unnecessary, because these are precisely the steps that the ministry is already taking. They're consulting with the officials from the provinces and industry reps. This work is already being done. We just heard our witness indicate what steps have been taken. I think this would just duplicate the process and would, if anything, slow us down in coming to a reasonable resolution by the deadline.
I do not support this motion.
