Thank you very much, Parliamentary Secretary Hogan. It's great to see you.
One thing we really would love support from the government for is regulatory streamlining. There are a number of federal pieces of legislation—whether it's the Fisheries Act, the Species at Risk Act or the pulp and paper effluent regulations—that actually, in our view and in the broadly held view across the country, dive into provincial jurisdiction where there's actually already really strong regulatory oversight.
It's not uncommon to see a fisheries official alongside a provincial environment official looking at a culvert, one saying yes and one saying no. We have really strong regulatory frameworks in the provincial domain. We would certainly ask the federal government to streamline as much as possible its regulatory oversight, so that it showcases harmony with the provincial regulatory framework and allows the provinces to have that oversight, which they constitutionally do.
Doing that would certainly have a huge impact on more access to fibre and, therefore, more use of fibre, not only domestically but also—eventually, when we get to a softwood lumber agreement—through diversification into other markets.
