Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am quite familiar with the history of the Fort Resolution sawmill. I think that it was in existence for quite a long period of time through different management regimes and the last operation that I am familiar with, it was owned by the NWT Development Corporation. At that time, there was always an issue with accessing timber and that’s still an issue for forestry operators in the Northwest Territories.

The biggest problem in finding an efficient sawmill that could maximize the utilization of the timber. I believe, if I recall correctly, the recovery rate was something like 50 percent, which is very, very low when you’re harvesting timber.

Also, the corporation, for a number of reasons, lost a significant amount of money and consequently there was a lot of investment written off. I don’t think there have been any proposals that the corporation has looked at recently which would indicate it was feasible at this point.
