In the U.S., the mountain pine beetle has been a very severe problem over the last decade or even more, and they are facing the same problems we are, with the addition that many of the areas that are affected are recreational areas—national parks, for example—so they also have to deal a bit more with safety issues for visitors in these areas. They are applying similar approaches to manage the mountain pine beetle and other pests. There's a lot of collaboration between Canada and the U.S., a lot of exchanges of scientific knowledge and technology. I would say our approaches to managing forest pests are fairly similar.
