Thank you to the witnesses for being here, and thank you for your testimony. This is great. We've heard from a number of witnesses about the importance of the forestry sector.
I'm from Kapuskasing. My dad worked at Spruce Falls. My grandfather worked there. Now I'm in Sudbury, which is a mining town, and I understand the importance of forestry for indigenous communities as well.
I would like Mr. Beck and Mr. Orr to elaborate on the indigenous forestry initiative.
Mr. Beck, you said there are a lot of good programs from the federal government, and I'm assuming that's one of them that you wanted to talk about. You obviously deal with indigenous communities, so could you share with us some successes from that program and ways of improving the program? Then, once you've completed your answer, I'd like to hear Mr. Orr on that as well.
