Mr. Speaker, facts are facts. The countervailing duties that the United States is imposing on Canadian softwood lumber are a slap in the face to our industry; they have doubled. The money is being collected at the border rather than being invested in our businesses. As is the case with inflation and the labour shortage, the government is not interested in this issue because it is not interested in the economy. Will the Prime Minister commit today to resolving this issue before the holidays?

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister visited the United States. After his Minister of International Trade visited Washington and after the Minister of Finance talked about imposing retaliatory measures, nothing has been done to eliminate the U.S. countervailing duties. It has been one failure after another. I call on the Prime Minister to rise and tell the House what the next steps will be in resolving this issue.
