As I said to Mr. Simard, we met with the ministers in July, and we have been consulting. The Canadian Lumber Trade Alliance, the primary group across the country, has tabled three different alternatives that the group could live with, if the federal government wants to engage the Americans and start talking about trade.
Committees like this are important to nudge our federal government along, to remind it how important this file is to so many people, and to say that, while we all would like to pivot to new markets, the vitally important thing is that the biggest, richest market we have is right next door to us.
