Mr. Speaker, no government has worked in such close conjunction with the industry throughout the entire country as our government has done on the softwood lumber issue over the past two and a half years.
We have never kowtowed to Washington, never agreed to their terms for the industry. I can assure you that the industry in Quebec, in British Columbia, and in other parts of Canada, will continue to be consulted on this matter and that it is solidly behind us, as are the provincial governments. It is thanks to that solidarity that we are making progress with the U.S.
