Mr. Speaker, at the moment we are not negotiating with the American government, but are having a fruitful and in depth dialogue.
As we know, no new American trade representative has been confirmed in Washington yet. This should happen imminently.
We have already had discussions and we are awaiting this official's confirmation. I can assure the House that all measures have been taken to ensure this dialogue is successful and leads to healthy trade relations, because the Americans need the Canadian industry's lumber.
