I am happy to go directly to that again. We believe that jobs in the timber industry are sustainable. That is our position. I know the Greens may have a different view, but we absolutely defend the right of workers in our forestry industry to pursue their careers in a sustainable way. We have a sustainable process developed here. We think we could suggest other ways of managing this process to keep these jobs alive, and that is what we are hard at work trying to do.
