Mr. Speaker, I was very pleased to hear the minister say she has faith in the future of forestry. I do too and so does everyone else in the House, and all Canadians. I have spoken to the minister on numerous occasions and I know her heart is in the right place, which is with the forestry workers and families right across Canada. Although there were some afternoon round tables last year, much has changed since then.
I would ask the minister most respectfully, would she sit down with me and the forestry critics from the other parties to plan a national forestry summit?
