Thanks.

I'm going to Mr. Beck again about the stumpage issues.

If stumpage fees are based on lumber prices, the lumber price today is over $900. It's crazy. It's three times what it normally is.

I think it was you who mentioned a program that returns 75% of those stumpage fees to a first nation if they're part of some program. Could you expand on that and, if that is the case, on whether those groups would appreciate a high stumpage rate?
