Madam Chair, I will commend the minister and our member as well. Our member from Saskatchewan has been working on the U.S. file for many years. I will give credit where credit is due. At least it is happening now. We hope some good things can happen, but I will remind the member that we had great fanfare when we had a sitting president and a prime minister who shook hands. In the first hundred days of the softwood lumber agreement, what happened? They had the ability to pull it off then, with two willing partners, yet all we see right now is a doubling of tariffs recently after this similar meeting happened between the Prime Minister and President Biden.
Frankly, I do not have much faith that they are going to get it across the line. I hope they do for the sake of our people in the lumber industry. Again, actions speak louder than words, and up until now, six years of non-action does not speak very loudly to me.
