Pierre Pettigrew LiberalMinister for International Trade

Mr. Speaker, I think that the goal would be to find a long term solution to the softwood lumber dispute.

Every four or five years for the past 25 years now, we have had a major trade dispute with the United States.

Our goal is to find a long term solution. Naturally, if that is not possible, we will take the WTO and NAFTA route.
