Thank you very much for your presentation, Mr. Giroux.
Before we go to the next presentation, I was going to mention to the committee that today we're dealing with sector and market diversification. I think that's probably obvious from the witnesses we have here. On February 24 we will be dealing with regional development from the west; on February 26, regional development east; on March 10, regional development central; and March 12, regional development north. There will be a little mixing of witnesses just because of when they can attend the meeting. We really tried to accommodate, and I think we've done a good job, but I just wanted to remind members of that. I know the clerk instructed witnesses and there will be very interesting presentations. I'm looking forward to it.
We'll go next to the United Steelworkers, Bob Matters, chair, Steelworkers' Wood Council. Go ahead, please, sir, with your presentation, hopefully up to around seven minutes.
