Mr. Speaker, today we heard an announcement from the government, which has finally decided to move after 10 months of inaction on softwood lumber. It was only after communities took action. Hundreds of workers and their families demonstrated in the streets to make the government understand just how much of an impact U.S. countervailing duties have had on their jobs and the local economy.
The Prime Minister himself said that he wanted to help the middle class, but he waited until there were job losses to act.
When will the money be available, and can this money be used to guarantee deposits?
