Mr. Chair, until the appropriate legislation is adopted by Parliament, the deal would not come into effect. So regardless of whether or not the government feels it has industry's support, it's important to hear from British Columbia. It is the majority of the softwood industry. As I say, we've certainly been hearing from companies that can't come across the country, and I believe very strongly that we need to go to them.
I would certainly be willing to accept a friendly amendment, because I believe the more consultation the better on this.
