Thank you, Mr. Chair.

\n

Thank you, Minister, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join your former committee, the natural resources committee, today to discuss an issue that's of critical importance not only to Canada's economy but also, as we just talked about, for B.C.'s economy.

\n

As you mentioned, the U.S. regrettably has continued down a path of punitive and unfair tariffs on this critical export. Canadians are frustrated that our neighbours are continuing down this path, in spite of the sound case I know you're making and our government's been making for some time about the mutual economic cost in going down this path. We're forced to challenge these rulings in different fora to get the relief that we're entitled to, where we've been successful just about every step of the way.

\n

With this in mind, I was hoping you could outline at a very high level what the next steps are legally that we can take to get such relief from these tariffs if we're not able to come to a negotiated solution.

Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.

\n

Je vous remercie, madame la ministre, de prendre du temps dans votre horaire charg\u00e9 pour vous adresser \u00e0 votre ancien comit\u00e9, le Comit\u00e9 des ressources naturelles, pour discuter aujourd\u2019hui d\u2019une question d\u2019une importance capitale non seulement pour l\u2019\u00e9conomie canadienne, mais aussi, comme nous venons de le dire, pour l\u2019\u00e9conomie de la Colombie-Britannique.

\n

Comme vous l\u2019avez mentionn\u00e9, les \u00c9tats-Unis ont malheureusement continu\u00e9 d\u2019imposer des droits punitifs et injustes sur ces exportations qui rev\u00eatent une importance cruciale. Les Canadiens sont frustr\u00e9s de voir nos voisins continuer \u00e0 emprunter cette voie malgr\u00e9 le fait que vous et notre gouvernement avez bien fait valoir depuis un certain temps le co\u00fbt \u00e9conomique pour les deux pays de l\u2019imposition de ces droits. Nous sommes forc\u00e9s de contester ces mesures aupr\u00e8s de diverses entit\u00e9s pour obtenir justice, et nous avons r\u00e9ussi pratiquement chaque fois.

\n

Cela \u00e9tant dit, j\u2019aimerais que vous d\u00e9criviez tr\u00e8s bien les prochains recours juridiques qui s\u2019offrent \u00e0 nous si nous ne parvenons pas \u00e0 une solution n\u00e9goci\u00e9e.
