—and the Government of B.C. wants to exempt private logs, which are under control of the tenured companies with which we compete.
Okay, we'll skip some of this stuff, then.
We basically have three options, and one is to ask you to have the tenured companies hand in all the renewable tenures and bid for the wood fibre. Obviously that's not going to happen. We could ask you to have them bear the entire cost of retaining the renewable tenures by exempting us and making them rely upon the open market to try to pass that cost on—which is what we've been trying to do—and it looks like that isn't going to happen. Or we can ask you to provide the aid package that the federal Conservatives had, we thought, promised prior to the election, and finish this litigation.
So bottom line, when we consider it as Canadians and as members of the industry and as non-tenured companies, we urge you to reject this framework, implement the aid package, and finish the litigation.
