Madam Speaker, I always listen to the member from Trois-Rivières with great interest. Usually, what she says makes sense, but today, it makes somewhat less sense. It is the decision by the Bloc to support this sellout agreement of the Conservative Party’s that brought about the disaster in Quebec’s forestry industry. Several thousand Quebeckers have lost their jobs, and now they are begging the Bloc to reverse its position. Why? It is simple. The anti-circumvention clause is now so broad that the Americans will challenge any decision made in Quebec or elsewhere in Canada to assist the forestry industry. Loan guarantees would provoke a reaction from the Americans, and it would be coming out of Quebeckers’ pockets again: $68 million last week, and another $400 million to come.
Is the member prepared to admit in public what the Bloc Québécois members admit in private, that supporting this agreement was a monumental mistake?
