Thank you, Minister and officials. I welcome you, as do my colleagues, to the committee today.
I'm going to branch out a bit. I want to talk about trees.
The forestry industry, as we know, is a critical part of the Canadian economy, and particularly so in British Columbia, which is my province. We have heard that there are tremendous opportunities to leverage investments in forestry in terms of housing and sustainable construction.
What actions are we taking to exploit this opportunity and to grow this sector?
