Mr. Chairman, being from British Columbia it is easier for me to talk about that context.
In terms of jobs lost as a consequence of the softwood lumber agreement from 1995 to 2001, they are certainly measured in the thousands. The difficulty is that there are other things going on that are also impacting on labour and the forest industry, such as market boycott campaigns and all kinds of other pressures.
It is virtually impossible to quantify it, but everyone in the business recognizes that the great distortion the softwood lumber agreement created cost British Columbia investment in jobs and jobs certainly measured in the thousands.
