Again, thank you, Mr. Cullen.
As to the anti-circumvention provisions in the agreement, this is very typical of trade agreements, whether they're bilateral or multilateral. Virtually all trade agreements have anti-circumvention provisions and dispute settlement provisions in them, although obviously, from the American side, they have in mind things like us or the provinces arbitrarily reducing stumpage fees or otherwise providing what they would consider to be an unfair advantage to Canadian producers. But the anti-circumvention provisions apply going both ways. So they're not just there for the U.S.; they're also there for Canada.
As far as the ability of provinces to make policy reforms is concerned, that is a key issue for us, and British Columbia in particular, because British Columbia has introduced a market-based pricing system for the coast. It has been in place for about three years now, and they've announced that they will be implementing a market-based pricing system for the interior starting July 1.
So we're very much aware of the importance of this policy reform to British Columbia, and also the need for all provinces to be able to make adjustments to their forest management practices over time as circumstances require.
So although the U.S. will certainly take an interest in any such changes and may even try to take us to dispute settlement if they think the changes circumvent the terms of the agreement, they don't have a veto over such changes, and we'll deal with these if and when they arise under the agreement. But in the negotiations themselves, we're paying a great deal of attention to these provisions to make sure we get them right, and we're consulting very closely with the provinces and the industry on this point.
