I guess Dianne and her colleague have really expressed it. I can only concur with them.
As far as merging goes, everyone needs to maintain their own identity in their own organizations. In New Brunswick we have seven woodlot owner groups. We work in conjunction under one umbrella through our provincial organization. We all have our own boards of directors. We have regional differences, as much as anyone who is working in a sector.
So yes, we probably would not merge. It could be supported by government to do so on some occasions, but we maintain very strongly the importance of our own identity and continuing to work together for the same goal and objective.
