What about your view of the relationship between the United States and Canada, particularly regarding softwood lumber and everything that stems from that, such as wood chips, which you need to make paper?
I'm well aware of it, because I know who bought the plant in Rivière-du-Loup: it was the Groupe Lebel. Based on my recent discussions with Louis-Frédéric Lebel, the 10% tariffs recently imposed by the U.S. government have hardly helped the Canadian industry—right now, they allow Europe to ship lumber to the U.S. that's cheaper than what we can produce just a five-hour drive away. It's incredible, really, when you think about it.
Do you think the Liberal government's relationship with the U.S. government—the way it treats the U.S., or the way it works with the U.S.—is hurting exports to the United States, particularly at this time?
