Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to echo my colleagues' comments in welcoming you here today. It has been a good discussion so far. It may come as no surprise that coming from Saskatchewan, I'm going to direct a lot of my questions to Mr. Voss.
I will state for the record that my family and I spend a fair bit of time in Meadow Lake Provincial Park. I guess it's involved with a facility that's on Jeanette Lake. I can recall about a decade ago attending consultations when the park was doing some work to try to reconfigure the roads to accommodate your industry, and I think even your organization, in trucking lumber out of park. While we lost direct road access to Flotten Creek, we got great roads out of it and the access to our facility greatly improved. We're grateful for that, and we're very supportive of all of the economic development that has happened in that area as a result.
I wanted to follow up on some of the things that you said in your opening remarks. You talked about some of the challenges you have accessing federal programs. I know that NRCan has a long-standing relationship with your organization through the first nation forestry program and the aboriginal forestry initiative, so I want to give you an opportunity to share with us how that has helped contribute to the work that you do and the success of your business.
