Mr. Speaker, just days after the Prime Minister met with President Biden in 2021, the U.S. announced it was doubling the duties on softwood lumber. Workers in communities that rely on Canada's forest industry are hoping for better this time. The WTO agrees that we need a better deal. Is the softwood lumber deal on the agenda with the President?
