Yes, we deal with lumber every day. It's a huge challenge right now. It is another situation of supply and demand. We've seen a huge increase in demand for housing of all forms across North America and the lumber industry has had a very hard time catching up with the slowdowns early on in the pandemic and an unexpected boom in housing. We've had transportation issues across Canada as well.
It's going to be really critical that the softwood lumber agreement gets settled. That will provide some more stability for Canadian lumber producers. We also need to look at what else can be done to get more lumber and keep more lumber in Canada. It's one of our precious resources. How do we help make sure we have enough?
We've talked about the shortage of housing and the shortage of housing supply. Right now we're being hampered as a country in being able to build more when there is that demand, so moving forward we really do need to investigate everything that can be done. Our mills are doing quite a bit of work. Production is up compared with just prior to the pandemic, but certainly there is an opportunity for the federal government to dig in some more and see what else we can do to increase the supply of lumber for Canadians.
