Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to address the representatives from the Forest Products Association of Canada.
I would like to give you the opportunity to correct a widespread misconception. The forest industry is often associated with clear-cutting. Instead of having an eco-responsible industry, the impression could be the opposite. That behaviour could be extremely serious.
A Quebec documentary, which dates back some 20 years and is entitled L'erreur boréale, was made for the National Film Board. The documentary was directed by Richard Desjardins, a well-known artist in Quebec. It was a good picture of the time, but could you tell us how the situation has evolved? Does clear-cutting still happen?
I think this is a great opportunity to reverse a persistent misconception.
