Thank you to our officials for being here today.
I may be one of several, or maybe I'm the only one...but I actually worked for the Alberta forest service planting trees during university and I loved it. It was one of the best things I did. So I have an investment in forests in Alberta.
I'm hoping to go over a little bit of ground we've covered in more depth. We're laying the groundwork today for what's going to be the most significant study this committee does in this sitting of Parliament. I would like you to go back a little bit over the history of where we were in 2008 and how we got to today. You mentioned that a lot of the recommendations in that 2008 report have been implemented.
I'm wondering if you could tell us what exactly the government has done that worked, what industry has done that worked, and how we got from 2008 to now.
