Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
My first question is addressed to Mr. Chevrette. Mr. Jeffery may want to add his own comments afterwards.
Mr. Chevrette, you said that several European countries are using wood to build their buildings and that several governments are also promoting wood. You referred to Sweden and other European countries. Would you say that those countries are all unaware of international law and the fact that certain rights could be violated under certain agreements?
Before you answer, I would just like to mention that someone made that point. In your opinion, is it possible that Bill C-429, which priorizes wood based on cost and the potential for greenhouse gas reduction, would violate these international agreements?
