But just yesterday, he told this House, and I quote him again, \u201cWe are in the midst of tough negotiations\u201d.</p>\n<p>Could the Prime Minister tell this House which of these two statements made 24 hours apart is the right one: the one he made on Tuesday, where he said they would not negotiate, or the one made on Wednesday, when he told us they were in the midst of tough negotiations with the Americans on the softwood lumber issue?</p>",
