Any further discussion on Mr. Anderson's motion?

(Motion agreed to) [See Minutes of Proceedings]

I think it was unanimous.

That's great. That's the business for the meeting today.

If we come back next Tuesday to discuss future business of the committee, would that make sense?

We'll leave it at that, then.

Thank you all very much.

Oh, Mr. Harris has a point of order.

Mr. Chair, I just wanted to point out that when I was on the committee before, we did quite a study on the forest industry. In the meantime, some time ago, knowing that we have a huge presence in China in construction, I received a number of very nice photos. I have them electronically, if anybody wants them. The photos are of house and apartment construction in China primarily using wood from West Fraser, Canfor, and Tolko out in B.C. If anybody wants these, let me know and I can supply them.

It's a great thing. As you know, we're even going to double our shipments to China this year.

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit

Thank you, Mr. Harris. It sounds like it should have been a paid ad, not a point of order. But that's just fine.

It's good for you, Richard.

Thank you, everyone. Have a great weekend. We'll see you Tuesday.

The meeting is adjourned.
