I don't know whether they were brought forward by that MP or whether they were just simply tabled at first reading, so I can't comment on that.
What I can talk about—and again I come back to the difference now in the last even five or 10 years—is the change in the building construction industry with these new engineering techniques, which we have to get in front of in Canada to maintain our position. We have these two companies. We can grow that. Hopefully we can have 10 companies that are building these engineered wood products, as they're doing now in Europe.
Right now the Americans don't have any, really, but they have big plans. As Michael Green said, they're building a big plant just south of my riding, in Washington state, to be the biggest engineered wood plant in North America.
I want us to stay ahead of that curve and on top of that. That's what's really changed.
I think perhaps, in the past, it was more just general promoting the forest industry type of thing, but right now we have this imperative to support our industry in this way. It really needs help, just as it did 10 years ago, but right now we have this way of moving forward, and I think this bill will help that.
