Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our guests for being here today. I want to thank you for coming back a second time after the unfortunate circumstances of a couple of weeks ago.
I'm going to get right into this.
There have been a lot of media reports and discussion that suggest close ties between your company here in Canada and APP and Sinar Mas in Indonesia. These reports utilize all kinds of information, whether it be leaked emails, historical letterheads or corporate directory records. All kinds of information is being used to support those claims.
I would like to give you an opportunity to clarify for the committee what the actual relationship is between Paper Excellence's Canadian operations and APP and Sinar Mas.
