Thank you, Chair.
There seem to be common themes of infrastructure, capital and regulatory easing. I really hope we keep Mr. Malette's comments about logging roads in mind as we go through this study and the next one. I think they're excellent. Forestry is an integral part of this.
I'm sure all witnesses will be heartened to know there is broad agreement on the need to move more quickly. The Prime Minister has set targets to that effect that would still meet Canada's expectations and the court's expectations on the environmental, social and indigenous components.
Mr. Tory, I want to take advantage of your long résumé and ask if you could compare and contrast the Canadian approach with Australia's. In particular, could you identify what Canada can learn from Australia?
I'm not trying to get you in trouble with your countrymen, so feel free to frame it in the positive. I'm wondering if you'd be comfortable sharing what you believe is working well in Australia and what we should be careful about.
