Mr. Speaker, the premise of the hon. member's question is completely wrong.
The government has been fighting for softwood right from the inception. It will continue to do so through the acting minister of natural resources, through the international trade minister, through the Prime Minister, and through this cabinet. We are fighting through every member of this caucus for softwood, while the opposition continues to play politics.
We look forward to finding a solution to this problem that includes the United States respecting the NAFTA agreement.
