Congratulations, Mr. Caron, our new NDP vice-chair of the committee.
Let's go ahead with witnesses.
Today, we have two witnesses from the Department of Natural Resources.
Glenn Mason is the assistant deputy minister for the Canadian forest service. We also have Robert Jones, director of the industry and trade division in the policy, economics and industry branch for the Canadian forest industry.
Welcome.
We're going to allow more time than usual for your presentation. Could you just go ahead with your presentation including the PowerPoint? I think everybody has a copy in front of them. Then we'll go to the normal questions and comments, and that type of thing.
Thank you very much for being here, ladies and gentlemen. Please go ahead.
