Madam Chair, I completely forgot to say that I would be sharing my time. I may speak again a little later. I will just quickly respond to my colleague. I do not know how that can be arranged.
There are already predatory hedge funds that are buying up between 30% and 70% of certain companies' countervailing duties. These hedge funds buy countervailing duties as though they were financial products, and that does not violate our international trade agreements.
The beauty of this is that the forestry sector managed to recover 80% of the money that was held captive in the United States when the last dispute was settled in 2016, despite the fact that we lost $1 billion, as we saw. In my opinion, it is not too much to ask the government to pay 50% of the money, knowing full well that the dispute will eventually be resolved. If the government is not prepared to do that, it is because it is afraid of being afraid or because it does not trust its ability to resolve this issue. The 50% is actually within reach. The money sitting in the United States belongs to the companies. The government cannot dispose of it as it pleases, since it belongs to the companies.
What we want is a settlement. Once there is a settlement, the government can pay itself back.
