Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of you for your very timely presentations to the committee. We only have a few minutes to ask some questions. I'm going to try to make them as short as possible in order to give you enough time on the record to answer them.
The first one I'd like to ask is this. You mentioned a national renewable energy strategy and that your sector would benefit from something like that. Mr. Dolan brought up the point that simply using wood instead of steel is much better for our environment. Could you expand a little on that?
The second one is on the free trade agreement. You mentioned that we should pursue more free trade agreements. We had the auto sector here. Frankly, I'm from Oshawa, and there are a lot of unions against the free trade agreement with Korea. In your sector, you mentioned that free trade agreements could help. Could you elaborate on that?
The third thing you mentioned was on what the government can do tax-wise. Could you comment on the budget, the corporate tax cuts, and the GST coming down? Do they go far enough for you? You mentioned capital tax depreciation and things like that.
Could you give a general comment on those three questions? That would be great.
Thank you very much.
