Merci beaucoup.
Mr. Feldman, welcome back to the committee. You've been very prescient in your comments around the softwood lumber agreement. I wish the committee had actually listened to you when you came forward, because tens of thousands of jobs have been lost by the stupidity of that agreement.
I'd like you to answer two questions.
What happened on October 13, 2006? That happened after your appearances before the committee on softwood lumber and the day after the implementation of the softwood lumber agreement in the Court of International Trade. I think it would be helpful, particularly for new members of the committee, to understand what transpired with that decision on that day.
You mentioned in your comments that we have a $68 million arbitral fine that Canadian taxpayers are going to have to pick up because of the incredible irresponsibility of the government, and you said that others were likely to follow. What are the other fines that Canadian taxpayers will have to pick up in addition to the massive loss of jobs that have come out of this egregiously bad softwood lumber agreement?
