Mr. Speaker, I think it is really important that we are talking about global trade and access to other markets apart from the United States. This is obviously a very positive thing. I think all Canadians understand that we need to diversify our trade. However, not all trade is equal, and not all trade can simply be replaced. I think that is true of forestry. The American market is very vital to our forest industry. I know in northern Ontario, many workers are now without work. They are looking for jobs, struggling to get by and unsure of when the next paycheque is going to come because of the inaction of the Liberal government.
The Prime Minister promised he would get a trade deal with the United States by last year, and of course that has not happened. There is a difference between the rhetoric coming from the Liberal Prime Minister and the reality that forestry workers are facing in northern Ontario and British Columbia. I wonder if the member has any other comments on that.
