Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Minister, for being before us today.
I particularly enjoyed your reference to Buy Canada. It's the first time I've heard those forbidden words come out of the mouth of a Conservative minister, and hopefully that'll be a habit that other Conservatives will pick up.
Since you're responsible for the relative health of our major industrial sectors, the first question I want to ask you is in terms of job loss figures, the tracking your ministry does on job losses. Can you tell me the number of jobs that have been lost in the softwood sector since October 12, 2006, which is the date of implementation for the softwood sellout?
