Madam Speaker, unlike the Prime Minister, we care about softwood lumber. No loan program can replace $780 million in annual salaries in Chaudière-Appalaches. The Prime Minister promised a quick deal with the Americans. In reality, things have gotten worse. Tariffs have tripled. Loans are not what businesses want. Businesses want a trade agreement with the Americans, our vital market.
Will the Prime Minister quit hurling insults, quit saying “who cares” and “I don't care”, address the real issues and fix the softwood lumber deal with the Americans, yes or no?
