Mr. Speaker, over the last two years, our government has worked closely with the industry, workers and communities on the softwood lumber issue. We continue to talk regularly, constantly. We will work on this issue together. I think that what is important is that we do the right thing, and follow through to the end with the United States.
For years the Americans have gone too far on softwood lumber. We want to settle this once and for all with the industry and with the provincial governments, which are working very closely with the Government of Canada.
