Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have two motions.
One is on the forest sector, and it fits in with what the Liberal Party has proposed. In Canada there is a growing crisis in the forest sector. It's not just in British Columbia, where we're losing $1 million capacity due to raw log exports and we're losing forest because of the pine beetle, and we have a lot of communities that are having real difficulty. It's something that has moved across Canada. There are issues in Alberta with respect to the boreal forest. In Ontario and Quebec there is also loss of capacity. So there is a growing crisis in the forest industry, and we're hearing it from all sides, as Mr. Boshcoff indicated. I think that's a really important issue, and we should look at it first and take a few meetings to do that.
The second one is to talk about the confusion surrounding the offshore oil and gas moratorium that's been in place in British Columbia for a number of years. It keeps rising to the surface, and I think it's something we need to look at. Whether it's part of the oil and gas study, it is something we should touch on. It would only take a couple of meetings, and I would like to make sure that is something that we get to in this session. As I said, I think it fits in nicely with our energy discussions on oil and gas. It deserves some attention.
