Good morning, and thank you for your excellent presentations. I represent New Brunswick Southwest, so I'm going to direct a couple of my questions to my Maritime colleague.
Mr. Poitras, you had mentioned 12,000 direct jobs. That doesn't include all the spin-off jobs. In areas like the Atlantic provinces where we do have large land mass and lots of trees, but a small population, that represents a significant number of jobs that we are focusing on, so thank you for raising that.
The Canadian industry certainly is working to be innovative. As Mr. Garneau had mentioned, there are 40 companies that own U.S. sawmills, so they were looking at different ways to be flexible. How prepared is the Canadian market, particularly the Maritime market, to expand into the Asian area and to produce value-added products?
