There are a lot of questions there.
In mid-rise markets—buildings of five and six storeys—the code change was championed or supported by NRCan through the National Research Council. That was absolutely critical to making that market work. That code change was promoted by British Columbia first and then dragged across the country by the Canadian Wood Council.
We're seeing significant uptake in that. In B.C. as an example, there are over 300 buildings now under construction, built, or in design. Even last week at a seminar in Ontario, there were 400 participants all trying to figure out how to build these buildings.
The federal government has invested significantly in the the tall building program. We have a demonstration project. It's a roughly $5 million initiative. The Wood Council is leading that, or at least managing that with the federal government.
We have three tall buildings on the books right now. One in Quebec City is 13 storeys. Here in Ottawa we have one coming along. The Quebec City one is residential and the Ottawa one is commercial. There's one in British Columbia at UBC that is 18 storeys. Those are a few things.
In the products area, things are going to get us fascinated and excited. We're talking about wood fibre supply, not particularly in my area, but I have examples of wood fibre insulation used for buildings. This is an innovation that comes from Europe that FPInnovations is looking at. We have some very interesting things that could excite markets.
We're looking at bridges. We have a concrete with wood fibre opportunity out of the NRC, National Research Council, that could revolutionize the way we look at bridge decks. It would provide up to 70% wood fibre and the concrete would allow for increased spans.
There are some really cool things coming that should excite people, and that's why I say that we have an opportunity to excite markets.
I'll stop there.
