Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague whether, during this conflict or this potential trade war over softwood lumber between Canada and the United States, she agrees that the government should provide more support to the forestry industry than the Conservatives did at the time.
Under the Conservatives, there was a lawsuit that resulted in a $1-billion loss to the industry. Even though Canada eventually won in court, the industry paid the price.
Should the Liberals have a plan B in the current negotiations to ensure this does not happen again and to protect the 300,000 Canadian forestry workers?
