Thank you, Madam Chair.
The lumber industry is definitely very important to the economy, whether in Quebec or in the other regions of Canada. In addition, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change wants to make an order. So this industry is very heavily affected. The lumber industry is already facing tariffs imposed by the United States, and now Mr. Trump is threatening to impose an additional 25% tax. The picture is neither funny nor pretty right now.
Mr. Lebel, I have a question for you.
After nine years of negotiations between this government and three different presidents of the United States in a row, we still have no agreement. Are you still confident, right now, in the ability of this government to negotiate effectively in order to protect the lumber industry?
