Mr. Chair, what I find difficult about all this is that, in the 10 years this government has been in power, no agreement has been negotiated and three American presidents have come and gone. On top of that, Mr. Trudeau was apparently on very good terms with Mr. Obama. There is absolutely no will to address this issue, and that is what the forestry industry is criticizing. Does the government really want an agreement?
The industry needs stability and predictability. That is important for the sector. We need to eliminate the uncertainty. We need an agreement, and it seems as though there is no will to reach one.
