Good afternoon, everybody.
We're going to get under way here. I'll ask everybody to take their seats.
We have three witnesses in the first hour. In the second hour, we're going to get into some committee business.
I'd like to thank our witnesses for joining us today. From the Canadian Wood Council, we have Peter Moonen. From Cobden Strategies, we have Catherine Cobden, and from Conifex Timber, we have Sandy Ferguson. We're grateful to the three of you for being here.
The process is that each of you will be given up to 10 minutes to do a presentation. Once the three of you have completed your presentations, we'll then open the floor to questions from around the table.
We have very tight time limits. Presentations are 10 minutes. Questions range from five-minute segments to seven-minute segments. If I interrupt you or one of the people around the table and tell you to stop, it's not because I'm rude but because I have to.
You have translation devices, if you need them. You may be asked questions in French or English and of course, you're free to deliver remarks or answer questions in either official language.
On that note, Mr. Moonen, the floor is yours.
