Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to each of our witnesses today.
I'm going to start with you, Mr. Casey, on behalf of the Forest Products Association of Canada. Your industry has undergone massive challenges in recent years and significant job losses, with entire communities, in fact, effectively shut down by lack of opportunities and loss of markets.
Do you see this free trade agreement as having positive effects in creating jobs and protecting jobs in such places as British Columbia and Quebec and Atlantic Canada?
