Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In terms of supporting the competitiveness of the forest sector, in budget 2019 the government announced $251 million for our forest sector competitiveness programs. They were launched this summer. We're reviewing right now the proposals and the expressions of interest for our forest sector industry transformation program, the expanding market opportunities program for overseas markets, and the indigenous forestry initiative.
Another area that I mentioned in my opening remarks was innovation programming, through which we are helping to accelerate the production of filtration media through the work of FPInnovations.
Thank you.
