Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you both for coming here.
Naresh, it's really good to see you again. I had a chance to visit your research centre this summer. You've attracted researchers from around the world to work in Canada, and in turn, you're taking your research around the world, which is a very good use of Canadian investment in technology.
I want to focus on our study where we're looking at carbon management within the soil system. We're looking at the economic opportunities that policy around carbon management brings. Yes, there's a cost to farmers on carbon inputs, but I'm thinking that the trees that you're showing are an economic opportunity for farmers. They also sequester carbon up to a certain point, but some trees that you showed me this summer are no good after a certain age. They stop sequestering carbon, and they need to be harvested in order to continue the sequestration cycle.
Could you speak to that, the economic opportunity as well as the sequestration that trees bring to the soil?
