Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question on a very important issue.
The softwood lumber industry affects almost 300,000 jobs in this country. This is why I have made it my first priority to follow our two track policy. This means that we are litigating before the WTO and NAFTA. We are continuing to seek a prevailing view to see if a counter-offer can be made. This continues to be our first priority.
