The motion by the hon. member for Joliette reads as follows: That, in the opinion of this House, the government should set up an assistance program for the softwood lumber industry and its workers, to support them in the face of the unjust decision by the American government to impose a 27.2% tariff on Canadian softwood lumber exports to the United States, the program to continue in effect until such time as this conflict has been resolved.
Je sais que le député de Joliette et les députés du Bloc québécois, après une tournée au Québec, ont réfléchi sur un programme pour aider l'industrie à passer à travers. Nous offrons ce programme au gouvernement.
