Friday, July 31, 2020, Afternoon — Committee A
Not going into too many of the details. But clearly, many of the small manufacturers had expressed concern about this. The minister has a liaison who's working with them, particularly, if I heard that correctly, on the exemption component. Are there any rules or discussion around what would be considered as an exemption, and how that would be implemented? I'm just curious how the concerns of the small manufacturers were addressed. And obviously, that brought forward…. And quite frankly, the larger manufacturers as well. How will that component work? Then if the minister could just clarify the rationale for this manufacturing regulation being for certain species and not for all species. If I may, I might as well just add one more question to it. Hopefully, it gives the minister only one opportunity to do a preamble when he gets to answering the question, as opposed to three. Has this gone through a softwood lumber lens, in terms of any potential impact or concerns that the Americans may have brought forward?
