Madam Chair, this evening, we will have plenty of opportunity to demonstrate the government's incompetence. I just want to start with a little update, for the benefit of the parliamentary secretary.
Usually, when we talk about a subject, we should try to understand it first. The issues for the forestry industry are the countervailing and anti-dumping duties. Tariffs are also an issue, and these are at 10%. The biggest issue that is making life difficult for people in the forestry industry is these countervailing and anti-dumping duties.
If the parliamentary secretary does not understand that, I am beginning to understand why the government is incapable of taking action on this situation: anti-dumping and countervailing duties are repaid once the dispute is settled.
I was saying that to help my colleague. I hope he will understand the situation better. I hope that tonight we will hear speeches from the Liberals that offer solutions, not empty talking points.
