Government Orders

The House resumed consideration of the motion of Mr. Emerson (Minister of International Trade), seconded by Mr. Flaherty (Minister of Finance), — That Bill C-24, An Act to impose a charge on the export of certain softwood lumber products to the United States and a charge on refunds of certain duty deposits paid to the United States, to authorize certain payments, to amend the Export and Import Permits Act and to amend other Acts as a consequence, be now read a second time and referred to the Standing Committee on International Trade;

And of the amendment of Mr. LeBlanc (Beauséjour), seconded by Mrs. Jennings (Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine), — That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word "That" and substituting the following:
“the House decline to proceed with Bill C-24, An Act to impose a charge on the export of certain softwood lumber products to the United States and a charge on refunds of certain duty deposits paid to the United States, to authorize certain payments, to amend the Export and Import Permits Act and to amend other Acts as a consequence, because it opposes the principle of the bill, which is to abrogate the North American Free Trade Agreement, to condone illegal conduct by Americans, to encourage further violations of the North American Free Trade Agreement and to undermine the Canadian softwood sector by leaving at least $ 1 billion in illegally collected duties in American hands, by failing to provide open market access for Canadian producers, by permitting the United States to escape its obligations within three years, by failing to provide necessary support to Canadian workers, employers and communities in the softwood sector and by imposing coercive and punitive taxation in order to crush dissent with this policy”;
And of the subamendment of Mr. Julian (Burnaby—New Westminster), seconded by Mr. Martin (Winnipeg Centre), — That the amendment be amended by adding the following:
“specifically because it fails to immediately provide loan guarantees to softwood companies, because it fails to un-suspend outstanding litigation which is almost concluded and which Canada stands to win, and because it punishes companies by imposing questionable double taxation, a provision which was not in the agreement signed by the Minister of International Trade”.

The debate continued.
