Mr. Speaker, I was interested to hear in news reports this morning that the B.C. provincial government has actually come out with a long-term forestry strategy. I believe there were 28 or 29 recommendations and points of discussion, one of which was the export of logs. I think there is going to be a fulsome discussion in British Columbia about this issue. It seems to me the provincial government was arguing that were some benefits of log exports, as well as negatives. I think the people of British Columbia will have that discussion.
In the House of Commons on March 10th, 2009. See this statement in context.
