All right, thank you.
I'd like to now direct my question towards Mr. Connors.
I was reading through some of the fast notes—I'm not regularly on this committee—and I noticed that on October 4, one of my cohorts, Mr. Whalen, addressed one of the witnesses. I believe that was Mr. Alex Chubaty, from Healthy Landscapes.
He made a comment that I found a bit alarming, and I'd like you to respond to this. He asked why we are doing anything regarding the mountain pine beetle, and went further, after Mr. Chubaty responded to him, to ask why we don't just leave well enough alone.
I wonder if you would comment on those two comments. They are alarming to me, when I see what's been happening in western Canada.
