Mr. Chair, I think we should address the trade agreements first. The United States is our biggest trading partner.
By the way, the government fails to mention that, in 2006, Harper not only got a softwood lumber agreement in 80 days, but also recovered $4 billion in duties collected by the U.S. government. This government has failed in not addressing the softwood lumber agreement and is failing in not collecting the duties the United States is currently holding onto.
