Madam Speaker, I listened with interest to what my colleague across the aisle had to say. I found it quite stunning to hear what he said.
I have communities that are very impacted by the softwood lumber agreement. They have said that they are grateful for it, that it has helped save the few jobs that are there.
As we look at opening trade opportunities internationally, my community is very thankful, during these difficult times, that we are looking at opportunities to expand trade and exports.
How can the hon. member possibly face his constituents when he consistently votes against job and trade opportunities that will help service his community?
