     1        suppliers, your converters, take their pulp from, there
              was no paper mill in British Columbia either?
     2        A.  No, that is correct.
 
     3   MR. RAMPTON:  Thank you, Mr. Kouchoukos.
 
     4                        Further cross-examination
                                  by the Defendants
     5
         MR. MORRIS:  Is it possible to ask a couple of questions
     6        I failed to ask?
 
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
 
     8   MR. MORRIS:  Just something I would like to point out, because
              there was confusion about that 181,000, it does not relate
     9        to corrugated, but I believe the calculations on the tree
              area were based upon that figure, so they would have to
    10        add the third of the -- corrugated packaging was a third
              of your total paper packaging used, is that correct,
    11        approximately?
              A.  It is not -- well, you are talking apples, oranges
    12        here to a degree because you have been asking us for the
              consumer packaging so that is what I presented.
    13
         Q.   Yes, it is, I know.
    14        A.  The corrugated, number one, is recycled by a majority
              of McDonald's Restaurants; it contains recycled content,
    15        but your point that it was not included in the calculation
              of trees is correct.
    16
         Q.   The final question I would like to ask is do you recall
    17        that there was an anti-polystyrene or styrofoam, I do not
              know exactly the difference myself between that, but
    18        assuming it is polystyrene there was a statute enacted in
              Portland, Oregon in 1989/1990, are you aware of that?
    19        A.  Yes, possibly, depending on what are you talking
              about.
    20   .
         Q.   Could you educate the court what that statute was, very
    21        briefly, from your memory?
              A.  No, I am not sure what statute you might be referring
    22        to; help me a little more, then maybe I can.
 
    23   Q.   I do not know a great deal amount about it except that
              there was a statute brought in, which, presumably, limited
    24        or banned the use of polystyrene packaging.
 
    25   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I think this is a subject of an
              admission, I really do think that Mr. Morris had no need 
    26        to ask any questions about this at all.  It is an 
              allegation in the reamended defence and it is the subject 
    27        of a specific admission of fact.
 
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is that not so?
 
    29   MR. MORRIS:  I will not press on it.
 
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you very much, Mr. Kouchoukos.
