Madam Chair, I would like to remind the House that during question period today, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources said that additional assistance for the softwood lumber industry would be announced this week. I just wanted to point that out.
My question for the parliamentary secretary is this. At the Standing Committee on Natural Resources, the CEO of Domtar said that one of the measures likely to help the industry would be to shift 2% to 3% of Canadian demand to mass timber, which would increase prices and make the industry more economically viable.
How does the government intend to ensure that Build Canada Homes programs promote the use of mass timber?
