Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for appearing before the committee.
I represent a riding that has a very long history with forestry. I took some time before today's meeting to consult with the local steelworkers union, which has many employees in the local mills in my riding. Coastal forestry products are a pretty specialized subgroup. We have a pretty diversified market, but we certainly are affected by what's going on in the United States as well.
I want to put my question in the context of the astronomical lumber prices we're seeing right now. Are those to some extent helping us weather this current storm with the U.S.?
