Mr. Speaker, British Columbia used to be the largest producer of softwood in our nation. Since 2015, over 30 mills have closed in British Columbia, with 14 in Cariboo—Prince George alone. It has been 10 years without a softwood lumber agreement, and these guys, these Liberals, have done nothing but make it worse.
Tens of thousands of jobs have been lost. Just last week in Cariboo—Prince George, there was another mill closure, and 165 jobs were lost in 100 Mile House, gone because of Liberal incompetence.
When will the Prime Minister finally do his job and realize that forestry matters?
