The program was started almost 20 years ago. I think it started in 2000. I was one of the founders of the program. I think that at the beginning the idea at the time was to expand into new markets, mainly into the emerging markets such as China, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. That was the idea. We were afraid of including the U.S. because of the potential risk of the softwood lumber agreement.
This risk is now clear. For value-added products like housing kits or engineered wood, there's no tax, there's no duty and there's no blockade in the U.S. Slowly the program switched to include, two years ago, value-added in the U.S. It's just the first step. I think we need more funding and more openings for the SMEs in Quebec, Ontario and the Maritimes to develop this specific value-added potential.
