Good morning everybody. Welcome to our trade committee.
Right now our committee has its hands full with so many issues. We're dealing with the European trade agreement that's finishing up and with the TPP, but of course softwood lumber is still a big issue right across this country. It affects different parts of the country quite differently, especially with what's going in the United States.
That being said, we are going to have two meetings on softwood lumber. Today's meeting is going to be on Ontario and the east, and we'll follow up with another meeting with the B.C. crew later on.
On that note, we'll start our meeting. We have three presentations, one from Ontario, one from Quebec, and one from the Maritimes. We'll start with Resolute Forest Products, and Richard Garneau, for five minutes.
We try to keep it to five minutes, but if you go over the time a little, we're a very flexible crew here.
