Thanks for the question. As I alluded to, the B.C. forest sector is very important for the province of British Columbia, so we believe it is a significant issue. The duties have had a sizable impact on the sector. There are a number of different factors, but the duties have been contributing to lower production as well as job losses. We've seen, since 2016, over 10,000 jobs lost, and that's just the direct jobs. There are spinoff effects within communities, the ripple effects that are also happening, so that just multiplies those impacts.
