Mr. Speaker, Canada continues to face a number of very serious challenges, from the carnage of hurricane Juan on the east coast, devastating forest fires throughout the west, to economic crises such as the decimation of the Canadian cattle industry and excessive tariffs imposed on softwood lumber that are killing the industry.
In light of this, the current government is expected to recess the House in the very near future.
My question is for the government House leader. Why is the government abandoning Canadians and forcing them to deal with these disastrous situations?
