Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There was recently some news from Canfor indicating that they're going to be cutting back production at their western Canadian sawmills due to constraints in the supply chain. In the riding that I represent, this means that sawmills will be cutting back shifts and workers will have less work. That's a big concern for us.
Mr. Buhagiar, what can be done to mitigate the impact of these supply chain challenges on the forest industry?
Second, can you comment on the issue of shipping product? When you have a backlog of product that needs to get to market, who makes the decisions about prioritization? How can that be resolved, so that companies like Canfor can get their product to market in a reliable way?
