Mr. Speaker, from softwood lumber to supply management, Canadian industries are under attack by the United States.
In January, the U.S. Department of Commerce decided to impose countervailing duties as high as nearly 10% on Canadian paper imports, and additional anti-dumping duties are expected next month.
Quebec is one of the world's biggest pulp and paper producers, and a good many jobs depend on that sector, including jobs in my region, the Eastern Townships.
Will the government stand up and defend the thousands of jobs that depend on this key industry?
