I would have preferred, Mr. Boshcoff, if Ontario had remained silent about the position of the Government of Ontario apropos the deal. I read the words, as we all did, and I can speculate only.
I'll preface it by saying it wasn't a very strong accolade. It was almost a case of saying we are doing this because we need to say something, but I would not say it was done in glowingly supportive terms, such as other provinces had done. I suspect that it came down to three things at the end: that there was some reiteration of the United States agreement, some side letter describing that they're actually going to go to seven or nine years or whatever it was; that there would be the commitment to facilitate the discussion to clarify the running rules--this would be very important and a strong incentive for Ontario, as everyone there is confused and concerned about that--and at the end, it may have been some carrot apropos the private lands in Ontario. There are private lands and private log issues in British Columbia principally. There are significant private lands in Ontario as well.
So those three things would be my speculations as to why the lukewarm acceptance from Ontario was provided near the end.
