As I am sure you're aware, Mr. Chair and Ms. Bell, there are federal and provincial restrictions and tests that must be met in the export of raw logs from public as well as private lands. I'm the first to admit I'm not an expert in that area; it's managed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade through their import-export bureau. The committee may want to gather a bit more information on that, but there are certainly requirements to get permits and meet tests.
In the recent past, from what I recall on the statistics, the volume of raw log exports has increased. But it is a relatively small percentage of the volume of softwood lumber we export, not only to the U.S. but offshore as well.
On incentives for value-added, if I've understood the question right, you're wondering whether or not the department has programs and provides incentives for value-added manufacturing.
