Thank you, Madam Chair.
I had a chance to speak with Ms. Gray in the past few days. As I told her, I fully support inviting government officials to discuss the fundamentally important issue of softwood lumber.
I did some thinking after our conversation, though, and I do have a question for her.
Why don't we recommend that the Special Committee on the Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States do it instead? The motion further to which the committee was appointed referenced softwood lumber as one of the areas it would examine. The committee was created assuming that this committee would not be able to cover all of the issues.
