Mr. Paul Savage:

In an overall sense, we have seen waiting times reduce across the board. On the afforestation side we are down to approximately 11 or 12 months from what was previously greater than 24 months. I think it is less than 11 months on the felling side. It is closer now to the six- and nine-month turnaround times.
