Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I was saying that I have five minutes and three issues that are important to me. I will ask one short question on each topic.
I will start with Mr. Chui and Mr. Baker, but I invite everyone to share their views.
For the past hour and a half and the past few meetings, we have been talking about new wood products. We keep hearing that term but there has been no reference to any specific product. Could you give me an example of a new product that has been developed, that did not exist during our first study but exists today.
My second question has to do with value-added products.
A few years ago, before going into politics, I was at a school where they built a new gym. The architect made a point of incorporating laminated wood into the structure so that it was both architecturally pleasing and structurally interesting.
Does anyone in the industry lobby large engineering firms on behalf of the wood industry so that they incorporate wood into their projects?
Here is my third question.
If the industry develops—which we can only hope—that will clearly produce more and more forestry waste. Is that also an economic resource we could use to develop, say, biofuels?
Those are my three questions
