I would like to come back to biomass. This industry could be significant for regions like mine. The fourth recommendation from the 2008 report was related to the impact more intensive use of biomass has on forest ecosystems and the environment. The recommendation was to conduct a study to analyze the possibility of increased production.
I know that establishments in the Lower St. Lawrence, in particular—the region I represent—are increasingly moving in that direction. A growing number of churches, community centres and schools are converting to biomass. Many maple stands are also converting. When it comes to development and environmental effects, we always ask what the dangers and risks associated with moving in that direction are.
Have you had an opportunity to look into this issue? If so, what were your summary conclusions?
