The House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources is currently studying economic recovery in the forestry sector.
As a member of this committee, I recently put forward a motion to have the Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade, invited to appear and answer questions about the recent WTO ruling that the U.S.-imposed tariffs on Canada’s softwood lumber broke international trading rules. This motion was passed unanimously, and I look forward to getting answers directly from Minister Ng about what the Liberals plan to do now that Canada has won its WTO case.
