Mr. Speaker, last Friday, the U.S. Lumber Coalition filed a petition triggering what could be the start of yet another softwood lumber war, and this is before Trump is even sworn in. The last time around, unfair duties and a bad deal led to the closure of hundreds of Canadian mills and the loss of thousands of good paying jobs.
Day after day the minister refuses to lay out a plan.
When will the government stand up for Canadian workers? When will it ensure Canadians do not bear the brunt of another softwood lumber war?
