Mr. Speaker, the U.S. lumber lobby has been harassing the Canadian forest industry for 20 years using U.S. department of commerce trade actions.
We had a 19.3% countervail tariff applied in August and now a 12.6% anti-dumping duty has been tacked on top.
More discussions are scheduled for November 12 in Washington. Will the minister now finally call a national stakeholders meeting to get the Canadian forest sector together prior to November 12?
