When we reconfigure on this matter, I would like an update on where we are going with the broadleaf issue. We are planting trees that could be harvested in 30 years' time. We are looking at a scenario where 70-75% of our housing now is built with timber. Has that been factored in? Do we have enough timber for the industry?
