Mr. Speaker, in the United Kingdom, Scott Paper Limited has cancelled its pulp contract with MacMillan Bloedel. This contract was worth $5.4 million and represents a substantial loss of Canadian export business.
This cancellation is the result of threats; threats made by Greenpeace, threats based on misinformation about B.C. forest practices.
Now is the time for Canada to address the lies being spread in Europe and the U.K. We in this House must ensure that foreign companies are not blackmailed by misinformation campaigns and if we are to live up to the promise of jobs and sustainable development action must be taken to protect Canada's number one industry.
