Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to speak a little bit about the mountain pine beetle, if we can. I'm from British Columbia and my brother's a forester, so I've heard lots about this and I've heard first-hand the devastating impact of this insect. I was pretty struck by a map my brother showed me that shows it's like a cancer that spreads from the middle of the province right through. It's very devastating to the entire industry.
I know that the federal government did allocate millions to help with this. All of it, I understand, has been spent by March of this year. I was just reading a report that said it was spent by March.
I'm just wondering, is this job done, or is there more that needs to come from the federal government regarding the pine beetle?
