Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I have checked it out. My department has informed me that whatever bugs were found in this particular wood were dead. They are trying to make an assessment with respect to what type of bug it is, whether it has a chance to live in the dry wood after the wood has been cut and dried in southern places. The department is still looking into it to see whether there is a chance the bug could live after it has been transported, frozen, and whatever else it goes through. Thank you.
