Thank you, Madam Chair.
Before I start my question, I'd like to have this on the record. Our government included indigenous groups and their voices during our renegotiation of CUSMA.
According to Statistics Canada, in 2021 British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta and Ontario exported the highest value of softwood lumber products to the United States, up over 30% since the same time of reporting in 2020.
I'd like to address the following question to Ms. Yurkovich. Considering that in 2021 many of Canada's largest softwood lumber markets saw record-high exports to the United States, what can the high value of trade be attributed to?
