Madam Speaker, I am very familiar with my colleague's region, having lived in Chicoutimi—Le Fjord myself. That is where I learned French. I love that region. Its forestry industry was extremely vital before the Harper regime decided to slash everything, not just in Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, but also in British Columbia, Alberta and across the country.
We lost $1 billion, 100,000 jobs and 200 softwood lumber mills because of the Harper regime's irresponsible actions. Does my colleague understand the consequences of the Harper government's irresponsible decision to capitulate on softwood lumber? What does he have to say to the 100,000 workers who lost their jobs?
