Mr. Speaker, the answer is simple. I could just say yes and sit down.
However, since my colleague also made reference to the fact that we are still in talks with the U.S. government, I would like to reassure him. Yes, we are at the negotiating table. Of course we expect the Americans to meet us there.
Until then, we will continue to help the industry. I know that, in his riding, the forestry industry is affected. The auto industry is also affected, as are the steel, aluminum and softwood lumber industries. We will be there for our workers with an appropriate budget.
