Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have been trying to complete forest inventories in as many parts of the Mackenzie Valley as we can. We have also been encouraging communities to look at ways in which they can support milling operations, in places where timber is being cut and harvested. We try to make it a condition of the licence that some milling is done within a certain time period. It is my view the private sector is probably in the best position to get into the milling operation that we would try to continue to work with communities to see that jobs are created.

In the business of trying to use our own materials for building, we can continue trying to do that. Rough lumber is supplying and meeting our own needs. In the area of rough lumber, it is probably the best option we have right now having the finished lumber for actual construction framing. We need to meet national standards and that requires the set-up of a kiln, to dry and finished lumber to be produced in the north. It requires a kiln and right now we do not have that available. Thank you.
