Madam Speaker, there was so much to unpack in that speech, but I will save that for when I get up to speak to the motion.
The former Conservative government, led by former prime minister Stephen Harper, as well as our hon. colleague, the member for Abbotsford, signed more free trade agreements than any other government, including the current government. The former Conservative government also put to an end the most costly trade dispute with our partner to the south: the softwood lumber agreement.
Not only that, but we also negotiated a year's leeway time for the next government to negotiate a softwood lumber agreement. In nine years, it has failed to get a softwood lumber agreement. Mills all across our province and all across our nation, and forestry families, are out of business and out of work.
What does the member have to say to the hard-working forestry families the current government has left behind?
