Is asset consolidation possible, as Mr. Lachapelle mentioned, but smart consolidation? In our region, we have the necessary supply. In our opinion, it's ridiculous to process our wood chips 400 kilometres away from our region. It's like having a spring but being unable to drink from it.
In the late 1990s, I met with Mr. Weaver. We asked him if we could implement secondary and tertiary processing. At that point, we were talking about black spruce fibre from Quebec, which is exceptional. For Mr. Weaver, the calculation was as follows: one black spruce equals one 2 X 4, and the rest goes into paper, in the form of wood chips. We make money and everyone is happy. Our shareholders are satisfied, and we leave it at that. For plywood and anything else, we go to Brazil or India, because it's cheaper. That was his vision. And, for implementing a vision of that kind, he was paid $17 million, I believe. The people who succeeded him continued to think the same way.
On the other hand, we believe that with the trees—in other words, the fibre—that we have, we are able to do the processing right where we are. Of course, things will never be the same as they were with newsprint, but—
