Mr. Chairman, the member talked about the decision of an international tribunal in 1994.
The real challenge that faces this dispute is that we are fighting U.S. domestic law. That is the problem.
As the minister of course will know, with the Byrd amendment, basically all the countervail duties being collected under this new U.S. domestic law is paid to the U.S. forestry industry. Talking about subsidies, the Canadian industry which is in tough shape is directly subsidizing the U.S. industry.That is why we have to be aggressive and stop this.
Our industry cannot survive a year, two years. We have to get aggressive on this and find solutions. I sense there is a willingness by some of our counterparts in the U.S., but it is time for us to get tough on this issue. We have to move forward and find a solution.
