Mr. Chair, the forestry industry is central to the economy of the province of New Brunswick, and the U.S. administration's unjustified tariffs are having a significant impact on the sector.
I heard my colleague voice several criticisms about our approach, but I did not hear many concrete suggestions on how we can actually help this very important sector.
On our side, we have implemented measures: $1.2 billion to access liquidity and a buy Canadian policy to stimulate domestic demand. We are working to reach a really good agreement with the United States. We do not want to sign just any agreement. We want a good agreement that will meet the needs of Canadians. These are several concrete measures that my colleague has opposed.
Instead of criticizing, could he suggest constructive solutions on how we can support this sector, which is so important to New Brunswick?
