Mr. Speaker, I can understand the passion the hon. member has for this industry and his community. My community suffered a downturn in the steel and coal industries so I know what it is about.
The government is taking a multi-prong approach to this issue. We have put over $350 million into these communities. We are negotiating and pushing hard at both the Prime Minister's level and the minister's level.
We have a customer who has been treating us unfairly. We also have an opportunity to have countervailing measures. We are looking into that to see what industries will be affected when we do that.
We are using every measure we can to keep pressure on the U.S. to give us back our money.
