Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd also like to thank the witnesses for joining us today.
I'd like to ask my first question to Mr. Krips.
You mentioned in your opening remarks efforts in regard to the mountain pine beetle. You mentioned the $68 million in funding from NRCan.
I'm wondering if you could speak a little bit to how important this funding is to ensuring that we have the tools to combat the outbreak of the mountain pine beetle. Also, are there ways we can support the industry to better use these products made from wood infested with mountain pine beetles and market them going forward?
