Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Allen, the value to wood program is made up of two elements. One is a research and development element, to try to move the research along a bit more quickly to those who can use it. But the second and probably the more attractive element is what we call the technology transfer part of it.
We have, with FPInnovations, something in the neighbourhood of 30 to 35 industry advisers in locations across rural Canada—across the country; I'd say in almost every province. Their job is to go into the small to medium-sized manufacturing facilities and give them advice on how to improve their productivity and competitiveness. To a great extent, the secondary manufacturing industry is in those small to medium-sized enterprises, where technical advice makes a big difference to their productivity and competitiveness. We've had this program now for about five or six years, and it has definitely picked up in terms of participation and interest from all of the provinces. We're a financier, but almost every province participates as well, including those in Atlantic Canada.
