Madam Speaker, the member talked a bit about the mill closures that happened in her community. I have been a member of Parliament for six years now, and one of the more common headlines I have seen in the news is that mill closures are happening all across Canada.
There has been no new softwood lumber deal with the United States for over 10 years. We hear a lot about housing in the House of Commons, and one thing we need for building houses is lumber. We also need steel to build it. We are hearing lots of uncertainty among some of the steel mills in Canada as well.
I am wondering how the member feels about the budget, given that there is no certainty in it for sawmills. There is no certainty in it for sawmill workers. There is no certainty in it to try to combat the tariffs and get a better deal for Canadian producers. If we do that, we will produce more and have more certainty, so we can produce the goods that Canada needs to build the things we need in Canada.
