Mr. Speaker, Canada has the best forestry practices in all the world. We owe apologies to no one.
Where we can do better we will. We are employing resources and measures to make sure that we do so. We will always defend partial or inadequate information about Canadian forestry practices and we will do so very aggressively.
Last week I headed a Canadian delegation that went before the Council of Europe to make sure that European parliamentarians understood that Canadian forestry practices are among the best if not the best in the entire world.
