Not only is this agreement the only one we could get, but it's much better than that. This agreement not only brings the benefit of predictability and stability, but it also allows our companies to operate under conditions of maximum productivity. That means Quebec companies in particular will be able to export their products under conditions which are not absolutely perfect, but almost.
So, we can assume that Canada will have 30 per cent of the market when prices are very low, rather than 34 per cent. Our industries will pay duties of 5 per cent, rather than 10 per cent. They will pay those duties in Canada, and for the most part, the money will be remitted to the provinces. In practice, when prices are very low, lumber companies tend to export less. They try to hold on to their timber for periods when prices are more attractive. As a result, when prices are higher, they will pay less taxes and will have access to a larger portion of the U.S. market.
In my opinion, this is an excellent agreement that covers quite a number of years. In fact, it is certainly better than the previous one, as far as I'm concerned.
