Mr. Chair, this is classic Liberals. They stumble along until we are in the midst of a crisis and then say, “What would you guys do?” It is pretty obvious: We would be negotiating a softwood lumber deal.
The Liberals had lots of opportunities to do so. I remember the bromance between Justin Trudeau and Obama. They could have made it a priority and had a softwood lumber deal then. I remember when Joe Biden came to visit and the Liberals were swooning all over him. They could have used that opportunity to get a softwood lumber deal.
What does my hon. colleague think about the missed opportunities the government has had to sign a softwood lumber deal?
