Madam Chair, whenever we talk about softwood lumber and the disagreement between Canada and the United States, one of the things to realize is that we are comparing apples to oranges.
In Canada, the person who cuts down the tree is responsible for building the road that brings the person to that tree, for ensuring that all of the environmental regulations around cutting that tree down are abided by, and for the replanting of that tree and ensuring that it grows to maturity.
In the United States, with most of the trees that are cut down, the forestry company comes in and cuts down the tree, and somebody else is responsible for building the road and so on. The folks who buy the tree buy the tree and nothing else, whereas in Canada, those who cut down a tree are responsible for getting to the tree and replanting the tree.
It is apples and oranges. That is what we are talking about. What we want to know on this side of the House is, what is the government prepared to do with all the money that is sitting in the bank account and has been collected with the tariffs? I wonder if my hon. colleague has any idea what the government's plans are for that money that has been collected in tariffs and is just sitting.
