Mr. Speaker, I agree with the member that the forestry sector and the workers, particularly, in this sector are tremendously important to our communities across the country. They are dedicated workers who give their all. As we have said, the punishing tariffs are unjustified. We have said this to the United States. In fact, I know that the United States cares about building affordable homes just as we do. If the United States were to get rid of the tariffs, it would actually help us build affordable homes in this country and in the United States.
