Mr. Chair, my colleague's question touches on a couple of important points worth highlighting. First, any support of the forestry sector is going to require collaboration with the provinces, because it is simply not going to work otherwise. When we look at tenure in particular and at economic access to fibre, that really is in the provincial hands primarily. There are things the federal government can do to incent, but there are challenges.
However, the federal government has the ability to assist with the access to new markets and new products. In particular, we have funds at NRCan, such as one called IFIT, which helps retool and allow the creation of new products that, in many cases, can avoid tariffs because they are value-add.
