Mr. Speaker, Canada's softwood lumber crisis has not yet been resolved. The Liberal government has gotten into the habit of offloading responsibility. Its excuse was that it was hard to negotiate with the former president, which is funny because those of us on this side of the House knew it was going to be very hard with the new president. Now that the Americans are doubling duties on Canadian softwood lumber, what excuse will the federal government come up with this time?

Mr. Speaker, relations with the United States are getting worse every year, even with a new president. It is time to realize that the problem is not on the other side of the border. It is here. These new tariffs are another brick on the back of Quebec and Canadian business owners. On top of that, Canadians are seeing prices rise everywhere. The additional tariffs are making the situation worse. What excuse does the government intend to give Canadians and Quebeckers now to justify its failure with the Americans?
