Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome the witnesses appearing today.
A few weeks ago, we heard from lumber producers in Quebec. You will understand that I represent a riding in Quebec.
Mr. Davies, you touched earlier on the issue of an updated agreement. Since you represent the industry across Canada, what would you like to see in this regard? I would like to hear about the difference between the industry in Quebec and that in British Columbia.
We have heard from representatives from Quebec. They would ultimately be prepared to operate under a free trade agreement, without necessarily having a written agreement like the 2006 one. I would like to hear your views, Mr. Davies. I would then like to hear from you, Mr. Edgson, on the same matter.
