Those procurement policies that favour wood construction and innovative...whether it's mass timber or whatever, are critical for two reasons. One that's obvious is that it creates jobs in Canada. One that's less obvious I learned about when I was over last week. We were trying to get the Chinese to do certain things with our wood products, to build in a certain way that our building codes didn't actually allow in Canada. If we think these products are viable, and they are, it certainly makes sense that Canada would showcase those through their policies to show the rest of the world that, yes, they do work and it's a sound product. That way, we get a big lift also.
