Mr. Speaker, I am getting tired of hearing the same old thing in the House.
Tomorrow, the Americans are probably going to file a complaint against the Canadian softwood lumber industry for unfair competition. Without an agreement with the U.S., our exports are going to be heavily taxed. The entire Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean region will pay for the Liberals' failure to act: plants will close, there will be less work for our entrepreneurs, and jobs will be lost. In short, our regional economy will be weakened. I have been asking the government for a plan B for months.
Does the Minister of International Trade realize how urgent this is? What does her government plan on doing to help our businesses and support our workers?
