Madam Speaker, Liberals have been rising in the House to criticize the softwood lumber sellout that they put through the House and the Senate. My colleague from Skeena—Bulkley Valley asked a very valid point. This whole agreement has blown up in the faces of those who pushed it forward: $68 million charged last week; an anticipated $400 million in charges coming in a few weeks, as my colleague mentioned; other lawsuits coming toward British Columbia and Alberta; and thousands of lost jobs.
I know the member to be a fair man. Could he simply rise and apologize to those thousands of Canadians who have lost jobs because of the softwood sellout. Could he apologize for the hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties that Canadians have been forced to pay? Could he just rise and apologize on behalf of the Liberal Party for inflicting this on Canadians?
