Mr. Speaker, talk about power going to somebody's head.
Witness after witness at the trade committee last week agreed that the upcoming presidential election poses a threat to our new softwood lumber agreement.

Tick, tick, tick; why are the Liberals standing by and doing nothing on softwood lumber while the clock ticks down?
