There's a synergy there between the two industries, and one without the other is lacking. What we're seeing in Newfoundland is kind of the opposite. Our pulp and paper mills are closing because of the lack of paper, and our sawmills are having difficulties finding something to do with the chips. We've actually had fires in my region because of sawdust piles collecting and actually combusting.
Speaking of fires, you talked about how B.C. has some old forests, and what we're seeing now in Newfoundland is that our forests are getting very old. The forestry industry is saying that they go in to try to get logs or lumber for logs, and the wood is almost too old for that. Do you think that increases the risk of fires in B.C. and Newfoundland?
Can you explain the importance of the forestry industry in preventing fires?
