Mr. Speaker, over the last number of weeks, we have witnessed countless job losses announced in regions across this country. It is thousands in the energy sector, thousands in the forestry sector and thousands in the automotive sector.
I wonder if the member opposite could tell us what the legislative agenda is for the coming week and, specifically, if he will agree to the Conservatives' request for take-note debates on the emergencies in the softwood lumber industry and the auto sector. There has been devastating news over the last number of weeks. We hope the Liberals will agree that this is an important issue that we must be seized with in the House of Commons.
Will the hon. House leader for the Liberals and the Liberal Party of Canada agree to take these matters seriously and allow for take-note debates on the subject of the job losses in the forestry sector and the automotive sector?
