Mr. Speaker, our hearts go out to anyone who loses their job. We are extremely disappointed that the U.S. Department of Commerce has significantly increased its unfair and unjustified duties on softwood lumber from Canada. These unfair and unfounded U.S. duties on softwood lumber unjustifiably harm consumers and producers on both sides of the border. This latest measure will have a negative impact on workers and their communities.
We will always stand up for the lumber industry here in Canada and Quebec.
