That last item you mentioned is, I'm afraid, a bit out of date. That particular unit has been disbanded, but we do have a number of staff from Environment Canada and Natural Resources Canada. There were more before. There are fewer now. That's not because of a breakdown of the relationship. It was a reconsolidating of the office space within the federal government.
That relationship has been very valuable to us, and it has enabled scientists from the federal government to benefit from the interaction with large numbers of students, particularly graduate students. They are able to build much larger teams than they would have been able to build in federal research institutes. They are able to access very bright young people whom they might not previously have had access to. We've been very pleased with the way that has worked.
I should say that we are working together with the Canadian Forest Service, FPInnovations, and the provincial government to find ways that we might combine our expertise in the future to better access international funding, which previously none of us individually could have applied for. This is an area that is developing quite rapidly. We're not there yet. I actually met with someone from Western Economic Diversification Canada last night, and talked to him about what we were planning. This is something new and it will certainly take us in the international direction.
I believe Canada has a really good story to tell internationally, that we are leaders in the field of forest management, forest science, and forest products, and that we could make major contributions to other countries that are struggling. We know of many countries that have problems with governance, for example, corruption in the forest sector, illegal logging, and deforestation. I think we could help those countries do a lot better than they are currently, and in so doing, make the world a better place for all of us.
