Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I thank the presenters this morning; all of their presentations were excellent. Thank you very much for coming. You represent different aspects of the forestry industry, and that's very important when you're trying to establish where we should go.
As I'm sitting here listening, I have an overwhelming desire to ask all of you what the hell went wrong in this business? It just didn't happen overnight. I can't believe we have three research areas in all of Canada that we've funded at the federal level for several years, and the entrepreneurs and the union people are now in an industry that all of a sudden is in dire straits. I'm going to discipline myself and not ask that question.
