Mr. Speaker, I invite the parliamentary secretary and the minister to come to my riding and hear what the people of my riding want.
For over two years we warned the government about the need to resolve the softwood lumber issue. For two years the government has sung the same tune of “don't worry, be happy, we're in charge”.
Everything is not fine. Mills are closing and thousands of employees are out of work.
The minister is meeting with Mr. Racicot tomorrow. Will the minister now take a strong stand, call a national stakeholders meeting and make this issue a priority?
