Thank you to all our witnesses today.
Mr. Gorman, my first question will be for you. I represent Yukon. In comparison to British Columbia, we're pretty small scale in terms of our timber market potential, but we do periodically fund timber inventory studies through the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency. One of the things you touched on was the dead timber issue in B.C. We're seeing a bit more of that up north as well. When we did some of the timber inventory studies there, the biomass potential was very much there from a forest use perspective. What we started hearing back, though, was that the consumer base wasn't there.
Could you talk a bit about the consumer-based R and D that might be needed? How do we create that consumer interest? How do we create the technology at the consumer end? This is one thing we've heard clearly here today, that we could invest in the forest sector directly. However, you can have all the product in the world, but if you don't have the people prepared to consume it, it becomes a little bit more challenging. We haven't heard a lot about that domestic market diversification in terms of consumers, B.C. being a fairly significant player. Maybe you could provide some insight for us.
