Mr. Chair, I understand the gist of my colleague's question, and I am glad he mentioned historical amnesia. The other day, one of my colleagues used the term “historical amnesia”. It is also true that the softwood lumber dispute dates back some years.
However, I want to point out that when the dispute was resolved in 2007, American and Canadian manufacturers agreed to create a $5-million fund in Canada to be used for market development. Market development is very important. In the future, perhaps that fund could be used to help fix the infrastructure and transportation issues that I mentioned this evening.
