Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Williams, I come from a place that has some experience with a complicated ownership structure. Alcan, the largest aluminum producer in North America, was sold to an Australian company, Rio Tinto. Alcan has become a drop in the mining bucket of a major corporation, which means that many people in my riding have the impression that decisions about aluminum are no longer made in Canada.
As a result, I'm not reassured by your ownership structure. Ownership structure is the key ingredient that allows workers and people in a region to see where their centre of influence will be. I do not want my region, Saguenay—Lac‑Saint‑Jean, to become a drop in Asia Pulp & Paper's mining bucket.
I know we can't ask you this question and that you'll answer to the best of your knowledge, but—the best solution would be for Mr. Wijaya to agree to come and testify before us. If he doesn't, then you will leave, and we, the elected representatives and media, will be left with the same concerns about who really owns Paper Excellence. Until this issue is resolved, we won't be able to move on and talk about your development plans. Once again, this is essential for us, because a lot of issues remain unclear. I'm just thinking of the workers' pension plan. I also spoke to you earlier about your investment plan.
How can we trust you if we don't really know who the owners of Paper Excellence are?
