It's because the first trip I took as an MP was with him, down to Washington, D.C., 20 years ago, on softwood lumber, and here we are again, dealing with this issue. The industry committee dealt with this last session too.
I think I want to try a new angle, though, in all of this.
Mr. Balisky, do you have support from other indigenous and aboriginal groups in the United States for the position that you have here? One thing there's been some degree of success with is getting some of the supply chains and the distributors on the U.S. side at least advocating for Canada over there. It's a tough nut to crack, as Mr. Hoback knows and as the chair knows too. We've been in many congressional and senate offices trying to push this issue over a long period of time.
I'm just wondering whether you have any support from third party groups over in the United States for your position here.
