Mr. Speaker, the softwood lumber trade war is reigniting and Quebec has reason to be concerned.
In a joint press release with Barack Obama in June, the Prime Minister did not say a word about exempting Quebec from any protectionist agreement. Worse yet, he is okay with a future agreement covering remanufacturers. That is even worse than the bad Conservative agreement that cost us 23,000 jobs in Quebec.
Instead of selling out all the sectors of our industry, will the Prime Minister stand up and defend Quebec's forestry industry?
