Mr. Speaker, there were consultations last week in Washington with the commerce department. Our government has made very clear that if the Americans wanted to recognize what they have recognized in the past 20 years, that there are no allegations from the producers in the United States about Atlantic Canada, and wanted to make an exemption, this is something that our government would certainly support.
We are engaged in consultations with the commerce department in order to recognize what has been recognized for many years, that is an exemption for Atlantic producers in any countervailing duty. We will fight for the whole country.
