International Trade committee  Yes, that's true. British Columbia in particular, more so even than eastern Canada, is in a really good position to comply with any regulations having to do with illegal logging or harvesting. There certainly isn't—

International Trade committee  Okay. I would prefer to have fewer regulations. If there are regulations, we certainly have a competitive advantage there in comparison to builders outside of Russia. Right now, though, I don't know what restrictions there are on Russian manufacturers selling into Japan.

International Trade committee  I would say that we're on equal footing with our Scandinavian counterparts. I know that those governments are more active in subsidizing some of their research and development costs. I'm unfamiliar with that, though. Russia is a problem.

International Trade committee  I don't think Russian companies do. Actually, I'm not sure.

International Trade committee  I'm not sure I understand the question. Yes, it is true that we were the first log home builder in British Columbia and in Canada to receive FSC certification. I missed the last part of your question.

International Trade committee  We hope so. We're an early adopter of the FSC standards in British Columbia. Right now, there's a barrier to adoption with FSC. If you're going to participate in the program, the audit review process is expensive. If you go it alone, you're paying about $5,000 every year for

International Trade committee  Thank you. How many minutes do I have?

International Trade committee  All right, I'll try my best. I'd like to thank the committee for getting our opinion on trade with Japan. I'm here representing two groups, one is Brian Moore Log Homes, of which I'm a part owner. It's a father and son business. We have 15 employees. Three of them are Japanese a
