I think it is necessary to implement national strategies for the development of the forest industry, but also for the development of forestry circles. We need forests to support this industry. As I was saying earlier we need to support the idea of a summit, on the condition that this summit provide the needed momentum so that we may come up with these strategies.
Over the last few years, I have been very much involved in the national forest strategy. I couldn't help but notice that forests are a shared area of jurisdiction in Canada. This creates difficulties when it comes to coordination. It also complicates things for the federal government which, for all intents and purposes, is practically absent from debates on forestry resources. Could the various levels of government work in a more coordinated way to predict market effects and try to act proactively instead of being subjected to them. That would be a good idea.
