Thank you, Mr. Simard.
Absolutely. On the coast here, we have several projects with the Gitxsan that are focused on trying to support the local industry in terms of the optimization, because we believe in the rising tide approach to this.
When you take a look at pulp specifically, if we can find a better use for pulp than simply burning it up right now because it doesn't make sense to ship it all the way down to a pulp mill somewhere, then we're going to be basically offloading some of the regular costs, so we can afford to provide these sawmills and the reman mills with better uses of the products in terms of a lower-cost supply.
In terms of looking at the lower-end fibre sources as being just dead weights out there, they should be reviewed and respected as value added to the process itself. If we can take care of road-building costs, we can sell that pulp to a low-end producer who might be producing things like torrefied pellets and white pellets.
We're looking right now at a special project where we would take hemlock, which is plentiful in our region, hemlock and balsam, so Hem-Bal, and turn it into a very high-end cedar replacement. We harvest all the good cedar now, whether it be for cedar poles...and it's all sent down to Vancouver. It's not for export, that's for sure. However, if we could take the hemlock—it's a process we've been working on with UBC—and convert that into a value-add, that's tremendous. That helps everybody. It helps the loggers, and those other value-add people.
