There were really two facets to our assistance for the forest sector. The minister touched on these. We've talked quite a bit about our efforts to diversify markets to make the Canadian industry, particularly the wood products sector, less reliant on the U.S. market. We feel we have made considerable progress in opening up markets, particularly in Asia, in that regard.
The other big thrust of activity within our department's suite of programs is with respect to innovation. We provide significant funding, again in partnership with provinces and industry, for transformative technologies, finding new products and new markets that can be serviced by the forest products industry. We feel we have made significant progress in placing Canada in a position of global leadership in the development and commercialization of some technologies that are potentially game changing for the forest industry. We see that as another means of creating new opportunities for firms and forest communities that have seen reductions in demand and jobs as a result of a changing global marketplace.
