On the softwood lumber agreement, SLA, the governing provision is article XVII.1. It's fairly clear. It prohibits the taking of any action that has the effect of reducing or offsetting the commitments agreed to under the export measures and commitments under the agreement. To the extent to which you're structuring an offset of some sort, the devil is very much in the details. You could very well find yourself in conflict with the general thrust of the SLA. I think we would have to know a bit more about how this diversification program would work and what it would be targeted at to make a definitive assessment. But I think you are treading on dangerous territory there.
