Mr. Speaker, it is exactly the reverse. It is now the companies that are accusing this government of conspiracy.
The minister has stated in this House that he has no problems if individual companies publicly divulge their lumber allocation quotas. The problem is that only the minister knows which companies were allotted quotas.
In order to save jobs, individual mill owners must be able to negotiate allocations between themselves. However, they do not know the players because the minister refuses to release the names to the public.
In order to save sawmill jobs, will the minister table a full list of companies receiving lumber quotas?
