Thanks, Chair.
Thanks again, Minister.
After nine years and three presidents, your government still hasn't reached a softwood lumber agreement with the United States. It's resulted in softwood lumber tariffs on Canada doubling to over 14%. Now there's a possibility that there could be a further 11% increase.
What do you have to say to the hundreds of workers, particularly in Quebec and B.C. but also right across the country, who have already lost their jobs?
