Thank you, Madam Chair. I never pass up an opportunity, so thank you very much.
I have a couple of questions for Mr. Warner. Despite what we've heard from our trade minister, it appears that there's no progress on the softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. The U.S. trade representative said last summer that Canada wasn't interested in engaging on softwood lumber, but Minister Ng stated on several occasions that softwood lumber is a top priority for the Canadian government.
In your view, has it been a top priority for Canada to be engaged and at the table on softwood?
