Madam Speaker, I listened with much interest to my colleague saying that this forestry industry crisis originated elsewhere in the world. According to him, it has nothing to do with the government policy. But everyone knows that this forestry industry crisis is a result of the softwood sellout agreement that the government signed. This morning, we heard witnesses saying that, in addition to the $68 million that Quebec and Ontario have to pay, due to the decision made last week, it is expected that the next decision will cost Canadian taxpayers between 400 million and one billion dollars due to all these problems.
Is the member ready to admit that this agreement was a sellout of the Canadian forestry industry?
