Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses. I apologize for the interruption to our meeting.
I'm very interested in the sustainability of the lumber and forestry industry. I've worked in that industry myself out of Winnipeg, but also out of various plants in Ontario and up in Saguenay. I saw what happened to the paper industry when newspapers stopped being read. China took on cheap paper. The paper industry went to a better grade of paper to try to keep value in Canada. We definitely need to keep a healthy forestry industry in Canada.
Mr. Dionne, you mentioned the sustainability efforts. Since the 1970s, it's a different industry. The sustainability of the forestry industry is an example for all industries. You mentioned the commitment there. I'm not trying to trap you into a commitment, but I think it's important to set that baseline that we need to work together for a sustainable industry. You mentioned that animals and caribou come into this.
Could you maybe put some context to sustainability for us, as a committee, as we discuss this, Mr. Dionne?
