Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to thank the witnesses for what I think is their fairly honest testimony here today.
Mr. Mallet, thank you for your references to how this is affecting processing, consolidation, centralization, and so on. It reminds me very much of what I've seen happen in British Columbia with our sawmill wood-processing situations out there. We've had Canadian companies with U.S. interests tire of the Canadian tax regime and the oppressive culture here and spend their investment dollars in the U.S. rather than reinvest in Canada, so we've lost out opportunities for Canadian workers, Canadian jobs and Canadian revenue.
Could you elaborate a little more on what you've seen? I believe it was you who talked about the one plant that did not reopen and how many jobs were affected there because of this centralization, which is maybe what we'll call it.
