Madam Speaker, I have to say that I am very surprised at the tone of my colleague's question.
He knows very well that our government is there to support forestry workers. We have been supporting them for a long time and we will continue to do so because we know very well that this industry is vital to many rural, remote communities in Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia and New Brunswick.
It is important to continue our work. We will do so, but we will not sign any old agreement with the United States. We will only sign one that is in everyone's best interests.
