It is essential. We harvest 13.5 million cubic metres of timber in the province per year. The annual allowable cut is 28 million cubic metres. With that 13.5 million cubic metres, we employ 137,000 workers. If we could raise the harvest, we could encourage these investments and bring in new capacity online in Ontario. The benefits to northern, rural and indigenous communities in Ontario would be tremendous. There are all kinds of opportunities.
Finland is a really interesting case study in what you can do with a forest sector and an advanced bioeconomy. They're a country a third of the size of Ontario, and they harvest 80 million cubic metres per year. They grow 120 million cubic metres per year; we grow about 40 million. It's not that 28 million cubic metres is a ceiling; we can grow more trees. We can grow trees faster in Canada.
