Madam Chair, the comment had to do with having a minister, or a prime minister, make a statement that is then countered by another government disagreeing.
On February 27, 2020, the Conservative members from the trade committee wrote to the Deputy Prime Minister outlining all of the adverse impacts of CUSMA on softwood lumber, and how CUSMA does nothing to prevent the United States from applying anti-dumping and countervailing duties to Canadian softwood lumber.
Does the minister regret not negotiating softwood lumber into CUSMA?
