Mr. Speaker, let me begin by thanking the softwood lumber industry and its workers for the tremendous contribution they make to the Canadian economy. We heard the Prime Minister say this, and we are talking about this. The long-term dispute does not help anybody, and in particular it does not help us build affordable homes.
On this side of the House, we are really proud that we are tackling housing and are building affordable homes. If we are to solve this issue, it will make housing affordability better in the United States and certainly better here in Canada.
