Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is also for you, Mr. Casey. I really enjoyed your presentation and your comments.
I agree with my colleague. Obviously, free-trade agreements are often presented to us in a very simplistic way. I found information from Statistics Canada indicating that, from 2008 to 2010, more than 40,000 jobs were lost in the forestry sector, while from 2009 to 2010, the sector's contribution to the GDP increased by $1.6 billion.
When we talk about $1,000 in benefits per family, it's simply a distraction. If this doesn't materialize for these families, it means little because it can very well be exported in the form of profits for these companies.
Do you have an idea about what we can concretely hope for, in terms of jobs, from the future free-trade agreement with Europe for the forestry sector?
