Mr. Speaker, the member will know that the Liberal caucus will be supporting this motion. It is a good motion and it reflects the strategic plan that we had for the forestry sector in 2005, which was $1.5 billion over five years.
The member probably heard the comments of the previous Conservative speaker who went through a litany of certain activities outlined in the budget, which was line by line what was in the motion and the provisions being called for in the motion, and basically said that the government agreed and it was doing that.
It does raise the question, if the Conservatives believe in those activities and they are doing them, why they are not supporting the Bloc motion, which is a problem.
It gets even worse. Recently, nine U.S. senators were here to complain about Canadian protectionist measures related to the U.S. stimulus package, which were meant to divert attention from Canadian violations. Incredibly, the Minister of International Trade agreed with the U.S. senators. He did not defend or support the forestry sector.
Does the member have some concern about the international trade minister not supporting our forestry sector.
