Yes. That said, what I am going to tell you may surprise the members of the committee, but the judges appointed by President Trump during his previous term, who were more conservative, handed down a decision in the Loper Bright Enterprises case that is crucial for what comes next in the discussion. That decision held that the United States Department of Commerce may no longer interpret legislation or other measures enacted by Congress that are not clear by saying that Commerce itself cannot err. The United States Supreme Court has thus held that such provisions may not be interpreted freely and in such a way as to see what it wants to see in them, but which does not truly reflect congressional intent. This was a significant change. I think that from the perspective of the decision to be made in the coming year, that might bring about some progress in the lumber dispute.
