Gabriel Ste-Marie Bloc Québécois
“I want the government to help pay the U.S. tariffs on Canadian wood. The government would get this money back after the trade dispute ends. This will help forestry companies keep selling wood to the United States.”
“Mr. Speaker, indeed, things always get a bit loud right before oral question period. I want to congratulate my colleague on her speech. I also have some questions for her about forestry. Can she explain to us again what we are proposing, what the industry and the unions are proposing, which is that the government take on part of the countervailing duties? Once the dispute is resolved, it will be returned to the industry, so the government would get its money back. This would allow the industry to continue exporting to the United States, despite the immoral and in fact illegal tariffs imposed by the irascible U.S. President.”
