On the issue of consolidation, the rationales for consolidation vary. In some cases, where there is over-capacity, it's a way to get greater economies of scale and to take some capacity out where the market demand is shifting. In many cases, it's an opportunity to develop new products and new services.
This has been particularly the case with the solid wood sector. Our industry has found over the last few years that it needs to be bigger in order to provide the kind of service that buyers like Home Depot are asking for. Our industry went from shipping the lumber to them to now having to deliver the lumber, stock their shelves, and manage their inventory. That kind of sophistication of service provision also often requires that you be bigger.
What do we want the government to do? Well, for the most part we want the government to stay out of it and not interfere in consolidations: let the market decide when consolidation should happen and allow the market to figure out whether it makes sense to have bigger or smaller companies.
