Industry committee  We will share.

Industry committee  This is an extremely important question, and I want to be absolutely clear. I can't tell you that everybody likes everything we fund. That's a fact. I can say that—and I think the other presidents can probably say the same thing.... One thing I have to say and be absolutely clear

Industry committee  We are going to talk about that again, though.

Industry committee  Yes. Thank you for your question. The good thing about working in a shop where there a lot of policy people is that this becomes a routine exercise. That came up, specifically. Our council chair is Jack Mintz. Some of you may know he is a very well-regarded Canadian economist. T

The ones I know best are the ones where I've had the most discussions, and they include FPAC, the Forestry Products Association of Canada; and on the other side of the equation, the Canadian Council fo

Industry committee  I don't necessarily want to dwell on the pipeline issue. If you're looking to extract resources in an area, for example, and it makes sense for the community and it makes sense for the company, and it's for the benefit of Canada, not everybody always agrees all the time with res
