Yes. There are three programs in NRCan that I'd like to give a shout-out to as part of that softwood lumber sector support package.
One is the forest innovation program that funds research—research into forestry, research into forest products and research into bioenergy and pulp products. It's a very important program.
There's also the investments in forest industry transformation program. MP Simard asked earlier about places where funding is available for sawmills. That IFIT program is a place where that money can be used to fuel innovation as well as help us with the housing crisis.
Finally, there is the green construction through wood program. We partner with NRCan to help us help the architects, engineers, construction, development, municipalities and universities build with wood and do the technical support and tech transfer. That helps them start to be able to be more comfortable and build more of these wood buildings.
Those are three programs that I want to shout out, but we also do a lot of work with the National Research Council. They do a lot of research. We need to do that research in order to be able to go into the codes world and make sure we can advance codes for wood buildings that are safe, affordable and resilient and that meet the needs of Canadians.
