Good question.
First, how is the Canadian forest industry doing? You have heard my colleagues speak about this topic. I think that the industry is doing well. There were some challenges in British Columbia with the flooding, but things should be back to normal now that the CP strike has been averted. Demand is strong. We need predictability in the coming years to make investments that will prepare us to be even more competitive. This is fundamental.
As Mr. Nighbor said, in our industry, we make plans a century in advance. Regarding tree planting, Mr. Krips said that three trees are being planted for every tree harvested. We're doing this for the next century.
The industry needs some predictability for the upcoming decades. The discussions on woodland caribou affect that predictability. Everyone in the industry will say that there's room for conservation areas in Canada, but that there must also be intense production areas. The key is to know where to establish each area and where the industry can work to create other areas in order to generate economic benefits and meet the needs of Canadians and Americans. I think that this is fundamental. In all the discussions, there must be room for conservation, of course, but also for production.
