Mr. Chair, earlier this evening, in response to the Leader of the Opposition, I said that tonight we cannot settle for mere slogans. Saying “elbows up”, “who cares” or “we care” four times is not good enough for people in the forestry sector.
A proposal is on the table. Unfortunately, no one in the Conservative Party has been able to tell us whether they support it or are not interested. No one will answer us.
I will rephrase the proposal for my colleague. People in the forestry sector are asking the government to absorb 50% of the countervailing and anti-dumping duties at the end of each month. That would save jobs.
Does my colleague agree with that?
