If I may, Mr. Maloney, rob 30 seconds of your time to amplify something that Mr. Pearson just said, the meaning of “softwood log” was debated through the last round of litigation. In Ontario this has been a particularly difficult debate because a softwood log is defined as a log that goes into a mill and gets processed into softwood lumber. The same log might have gotten processed for pulp or paper. If it goes into a pulp or paper mill, it's then a pulp log, and that definition is not the definition that applies necessarily in other provinces. When Mr. Pearson says we need to define “softwood log”, it certainly is not a known quantity. It's been a heavily litigated and disputed issue.
