Natural Resources committee  I would define the domestic market as Canada and the U.S. Anyone in the industry knows how important the U.S. is. I'd say the best recommendation is to look outside, as opposed to internally. Quit standing at the mill and looking at the forest; start looking at the markets and the competitors.

Natural Resources committee  Actually, the products are, but they're not necessarily made here. The problem is that by doing composite materials and engineered products we're taking low-quality fibre and making high-quality products. People can produce low-quality fibre cheaper than we can. As we get more sophisticated products, it's cheaper to make them in Brazil, Uruguay, and Chile and ship them than for us to make them.

Natural Resources committee  Okay. Before I start, I'll just take 30 seconds to tell you that I purposely included that photo because it was a full-page ad in The New York Times--I'm responding to the previous questioner--and I find it reprehensible, but it seems to be acceptable tactics by certain organizations to attack the industry in Canada.

Natural Resources committee  The first thing is to recognize that you can't save them all. It's not going to go back to the way it was. Not all the communities are going to exist. Not all will stay the same size. What you want to do is give the communities the capacity to make those struggles that will let them survive.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you for inviting me. I hope you received my brief. I did get it in about ten days ago. Hopefully you have it, because there were some pretty pictures in there. I'd like to take a step back a bit. Rather than talk about a specific policy there, I'd like to talk more about what's going on.
