Thank you for your insight. I think we all agree that paying first responders appropriately to ensure that they don't need new people every year is really important.
Mr. Mulligan, I have a question, and I thank you for your work and for the contributions that you make to the economy. Obviously, forestry, wood products and lumber are very important for various reasons. In 2017, we heard, not just from your organization but others who said, “Hey, look, the fire likelihood is higher than it has been in the past. The pine beetle has definitely had a significant and deleterious impact on the life of the forest, and fires are more likely.” Following that, our government invested heavily in clearing, in a sprinkler system and in an incremental number of burns.
Are you aware of those additional investments and what the investments were like prior? I know you're not a government official and you work in the sector, but are you aware of the response that the government made during those times?
