Mr. Chair, I know my time is limited here, but I just want to say the following. Being from British Columbia and representing an area that uses wood products, I will quickly say that the picture of the government coming came in and telling the forestry industry how to do its job.... Yes, obviously there were real problems in the 1990s, but the problem is that the industry itself knew what practices and which bad actors needed to be reined in. I would just simply suggest that this government needs to start thinking of people and industry, not for them, like this.
