What we would like to be able to do is to go higher up the value chain. We are dimension lumber producers. We have a lot of dimension lumber. We also have specialty lumber, but there are opportunities for us to go further up the value chain and look for market opportunities that would be duty exempt or would apply to markets that don't have tariffs or duties.
The challenge for us, as you can imagine, is that when you have a billion dollars on deposit, that's money that's not being spent on plant and equipment. That's sitting over in the U.S. Treasury or wherever it sits. It's not able.... We don't have access to invest it in a plant, equipment or our people. Capital, as you can imagine, is extremely constrained. As we look at these opportunities, at a time to diversify some of our production away from the U.S., it's a time when we don't have a lot of capital to spend. In fact, we are looking at every single dime, as many other companies are, of course.
Having some kind of matching fund, grant or forgivable loan that allows us to retool some of our operations to be able to meet, go into those additional product areas or diversify further away from the United States would be really helpful and would, I think, be a way for us to transition.
We talk about Build Canada Homes. These are other things that allow us to find different markets and to move our product to areas that are duty-free.
