Mr. Speaker, the Minister for International Trade stated in the House that this situation must be resolved once and for all, and the Bloc Quebecois is keeping a close eye on him to see that it is. Very soon, the WTO should be making another ruling, and everyone believes that it will be in Canada's favour.
Will the minister admit that he could undermine his position during negotiations with the Americans by refusing to wait for the WTO's final decision and by settling the matter with the Americans based on a position considered unacceptable by the softwood lumber industry?
