Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all three witnesses. I found it very interesting with a lot of hope about the future by using our agricultural lands to sequester carbon and to help us with the environmental challenges we're facing.
I want to start with Ducks Unlimited. The work you're doing is great in trying to save wetlands and other marshlands. I grew up in the Holland Marsh area—Bradford West Gwillimbury and Barrie—where there are lots and lots of marshlands.
A lot of this falls under provincial jurisdiction. Just recently, a highway has been approved by the Ontario government that goes through some very significant wetlands and farmland connecting Highways 400 and 404. Much of this is in the provincial jurisdiction, where we cannot really intervene.
How do you think we can address the need to maintain these wetlands and show the value of them when there are proposals to build highways through these very sensitive and valuable areas?
