Mr. Speaker, I am not sure whether my colleague is aware of the London Court of International Arbitration's February 26 ruling. The tribunal found that we had exported more than our quota to the United States. In its ruling, the court recommended introducing a 10% export tax on softwood industries.
The industry reported that Quebec was responsible for 40% of the over-quota exports, while Ontario was responsible for 60%. As such, we do not feel that Quebec should have to pay 50% of the amount owing. If a 10% export tax is instituted, we will have to pay 50% of the amount owing, even though we are responsible for only 40% of it. I would like my colleague to comment on that.
