Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would first like to touch on what I spoke about two days ago.
Mr. Gorman, you spoke briefly about the Softwood Lumber Agreement between Canada and the United States, which is set to expire in 2015. The agreement provides for a one-year standstill on any actions the U.S. could launch in Canada.
You are in favour of this agreement, and you hope that it will be renewed. We want that too, but what do the Americans want? Do you know if they would like to water down the agreement, change it or make it very different from what it is now?
