Thank you so much for taking the time to stay.
There is no other industry in this country that touches as many people as forestry. The towns that rely on it across Canada are completely dependent on it.
I know some of my colleagues around the table don't think that it's that big a deal that 22 million hectares of Canadian forests were taken up by a single man whose family connections are tied to some very controversial international operations. He's the sole owner.
I personally think that a question of net benefit should have been asked and wasn't asked when the Domtar and Resolute takeovers were handled by the Wijaya family.
Mr. Moffatt, we were told by ISED, who didn't bother to do a net benefit test, that the company is based in the Netherlands. Does that seem credible to you?
