Mr. Chair, I want to thank my colleague from Courtenay—Alberni for his very good remarks; they were very thoughtful.
It is absolutely important that there is urgency to getting this resolved. What is evident so far is there has been no urgency from the government on softwood lumber. It has been 10 years. Former prime minister Stephen Harper got to a deal in 80 days. We are causing the death of the forestry sector by delay. There is delay in dealing with what needs to be dealt with.
It is time to get back to the table, think big picture and get the best deal possible for Canada's forestry workers. We need urgency from that side of the House. I hope the member will join me in demanding that the government take action for our forestry workers.
