Mr. Speaker, after nine years of NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up. Last night, the Prime Minister appeared on The Late Show to pathetically explain why he keeps backing down to American presidents regarding softwood lumber. He called his failure regarding softwood lumber a small issue. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of forestry workers have lost their job. It is an insult to them.
After nine years of repeatedly backing down to each and every president with respect to softwood lumber, how can Canadians believe they will ever get a deal to lift the punishing tariffs?
