Thank you very much.
Mr. Nighbor, we have been more than a decade without a softwood lumber agreement. It's important to diversify, I think we all agree, but in my riding, Similkameen—South Okanagan—West Kootenay, we've already seen shift changes and job losses. My riding has six border crossings to the United States that are vital for the historical U.S. trade that we depend on.
If we're looking to hurry on trade with Japan and other Asian markets, what's the pace we need to move? How many mills do you expect might not be able to hang on for another year, two years or three years? Please don't sugar-coat it.
