Mr. Speaker, of course we like free trade. We invented it, unlike the minister opposite.
The Minister for International Trade is ignoring the representatives of the softwood lumber industry but listening to the handful of CEOs who donated in excess of $30,000 to the Liberal Party. This proposal is jeopardizing our market share, our economic interests and the future of our fellow citizens.
Will the minister commit immediately to have the Government of Canada withdraw its latest proposal?
