Thanks for the question.
I'll be very direct. Under this government the tone has changed significantly. That has been welcomed.
I also think economic realities have forced us as a country to look inward at some of our natural strengths, which I think is where natural resource opportunities lie. We have seen coordinated campaigns to try to undermine Canadian forestry out of the U.S. and Europe—that's standard. I would say the current economic crisis that we're in has enabled an opportunity in our sector to get focused on the possible, to start thinking about the economy again and to start thinking about jobs and leaning into some of Canada's natural advantages.
What I'm hearing from our CEOs and heads of HR in our member companies is that young people want to know that they're making a difference. They want to know that forestry is sustainable. They want to know that we're making products ethically and treating the land that we're working on well. Those are themes. I'm proud of what we do in that regard in forestry.
I also think the opportunity we have on the housing piece domestically is huge, as well as the other community benefits that come with forest management.
