Okay. That's unfortunate.
You talked about the sector doing well in certain areas, especially on the paper side, with all the masks that are being required now. Some of the benefit has been to that part of the sector, but that paper side is struggling. As I've seen in Mackenzie, paper mills have closed. My dad worked on a paper mill some 20 years ago, and that particular paper mill has been shuttered, based on the difficult place for paper in the global market.
Some of it is related to access to timber. We're told that timber is becoming more and more scarce, but I guess I have a question for you in terms of a strategy. In driving through the Pine Pass when I go from Fort St. John to Prince George, I see that in that area we have a whole bunch of what I call redwood, the wood that has been killed by the pine beetle, but now we see a whole new wave of yellow wood, and that's the spruce beetle. It's not just a few trees here and there. It's pervasive, as I'm sure you know, but there doesn't seem to be a strategy for how to get that wood down.
The reason I ask is that we've seen the opportunity. The wood is there. We should be getting it down. We see what the Americans are doing to the south of us, where they're incentivizing the cleaning up of parklands by getting out this timber that will soon be dead and will soon be a huge volume of firewood that's at risk of catching fire, and we could be watching even more of our forests burning than we've seen in the past.
What is the national strategy? I understand that this is a provincial file in a lot of ways, but is there a national strategy on how to deal with this particular wood and use it for its benefits, so that it can be used in a positive way rather than just leaving it to eventually be a forest fire?
