Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised Canadians he would negotiate a win with the United States. When the Prime Minister took office, softwood lumber tariffs were at 14%; they then climbed to 35%, and now they are at 45%. Because of his failures, mills have closed their doors, and forestry towns are paying the price.
In Miramichi, we have seen mill closures at Arbec Forest Products because the Prime Minister cannot close the deal. When will the Prime Minister put his big-boy pants on and finally stand up for Canada's forest industry?
