Madam Chair, I want to tell the member opposite that although I represent Thunder Bay, I also represent everywhere between Thunder Bay and the Manitoba border, which includes quite a few trees, so I am certainly not just from the big city. I remember that when I was in law school, I read a case with a WTO panel decision on softwood lumber tariffs imposed by the United States against Canada. That was 25 years ago and not a whole lot seems to have changed since then. I know the opposition wants to think we are the enemies, but I would suggest that perhaps we are not. The enemy is forces in the United States that are not only protectionist but self-serving. Perhaps it is a bit of a stretch to suggest that we have any control over those protectionist forces, just as we have no control over the weather in Florida.
