We produce lumber, and by-products of lumber are hog fuel, shavings, sawdust, and chips. The chips generally go to the pulpers. The shavings and the sawdust often go to pellet operators, or maybe they go to biomass power. Hog fuel usually goes to biomass power. Those same products can go to other things, but if we can't produce lumber at a price at which we can make money or even—let's be basic—keep the doors open, then we're going to have a hard time creating a residual stream and finding opportunities to sell both to current customers and to new applications.
It's very hard to speak to competitiveness without being specific to the location we're in, which is the interior of British Columbia. We have some really big challenges right now around fibre supply. I think you're all very aware of the mountain pine beetle epidemic and how much that has impacted fibre supply. We have drier wood. We have less wood. There's the annual allowable cut. We're having to learn how to produce different types of lumber, and the China market has been a real key in that.
Everything is integrated. I think that comment has been made by others. We have to have new markets for the different types of wood we're producing, and we need to have more robust and more competitive environments for the fibre-supply side. That's not a federal jurisdiction; that's something the provinces are looking at.
I'm sure somebody is going to ask me the softwood lumber question today, so I might as well just get it right out there on the table.
