I don't do rushed meetings. These are meetings that I have on a regular basis with the industry.
I am very pleased to have a good working relationship with the industry. On the heels of what was the presidential visit, just as the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and I met with the council of the terrific Canadians who, as part of team Canada, helped us renegotiate NAFTA, I also met with the Canadian forestry sector. It is an honour to do so because I believe that, in doing this work, I do it together with industry. To ensure that I hear directly from them is what I have done and continue to do. Make no mistake—it is a priority for this government. It is a priority that I continue to stand up for Canadian softwood lumber—the industry as well as its workers. It's a priority that we push the United States to come to the negotiating table.
We are ready, and of course, we will always—
