Madam Chair, it is great to see such strong representation from Calgary Skyview and another member of our Alberta caucus on the governing side of the House.
The member has talked about the work the government is doing, the team Canada approach that we are all taking as parliamentarians. Part of the challenge I see as a parliamentarian is that the United States has a deficit or not necessarily enough domestic softwood to meet its housing and lumber needs.
I know the member opposite has a business background. Perhaps he can opine on what I think is a problematic approach with the U.S. in the sense that it does not even have enough domestic demand. Would he agree with me that this is just a wrong-headed policy that is going to create economic challenges on both sides of the border?
