Mr. Speaker, the Minister of International Trade was not talking about other matters, but about softwood lumber. If they want a total return to free trade, we need to point out that the federal government has been pressuring the provinces and the industry for the past two years to agree to a watered-down agreement, one that has been turned down by both the provinces and the industry.
Are we to understand that the long term agreement the Prime Minister refers to will not jeopardize the NAFTA rulings in any way?
