Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Paterson and Mr. Robertson, thank you so much for being here. I'm finding it actually quite an interesting discussion, and I very much appreciate your forthright answers and how you are not trying to dodge the questions.
First of all, Mr. Chair, Ms. Hughes had a question earlier about the summit. I believe there was actually a summit with the forestry people under Minister Lunn. The natural resources committee actually requested that. It wasn't large. All people were invited. There were some forestry people, plus labour. I don't think it really got much attention. It doesn't mean that there shouldn't be another, but I believe there was one back a couple of years ago when Minister Lunn was in. I think those are important...that they start to fill the commitments that were laid out.
Mr. Paterson, we've talked in general terms, and so I'm going to leave it to you.... I don't know what sort of detail you have. We knew the collapse of the industry within the paper industry as it is. It is, I think, recognized in our day-to-day situations. Even around here, within our offices and within our own businesses, we can see the change in the need for newsprint and paper products.
You've talked about the transition and the conversions that you might be going through, but you've been very general. Maybe that's on purpose and maybe you can't go into any more detail than that, but I am interested in trying to understand whether, if you're here now and it's not working, you can take us to some part of your plan. I know you said you would provide that, but I think for the general record, it might be of interest to understand a little bit about your change in direction.
