Mr. Speaker, 40% of Canada's economy is tied to our relationship in trade with the U.S., but after nine years, we have no softwood lumber deal. What has happened? Tariffs have doubled, and they are set to double again, if we have a first increase, and a second, if Trump gets his way, if we do not fix the border.
After nine years, we have lost 90,000 jobs in softwood lumber, 40,000 each in Ontario and Quebec alone. The last prime minister solved this in 79 days. It has been 3,311 days. Where is the plan for softwood lumber?
