Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for being here on this very important study.
Of course, our government values the lumber industry and the workers, and we'll continue to support that industry. Our government has been very mindful in its deliberations when it comes to any trade negotiations. Our priority is to secure a good deal for Canadian industries and workers. I know the Conservative approach is to get a deal no matter what, and not to worry about the workers but to just get a deal done.
This is my question for the witnesses here. Would you agree that a good deal is better than a fast deal, and what would constitute a good deal, in your opinion?
Maybe we can start with Mr. Niquidet.
