Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think, for this intervention, I'd like to turn to the Beef Cattle Research Council.
In your opening remarks, you spoke about what you called strip forestry, forestry that was mixed with cattle. In a previous life, I was a tree planter. I planted throughout British Columbia, and one of the notable places I planted was in the Douglas Lake ranch, where we had to pay particular attention to cattle coming through, and we had to plant our trees close to obstacles so that the cattle wouldn't come through.
I mentioned France. France has some amazing examples of agroforestry, where they allow sheep and cattle to come through mature woodlands. Sometimes they pair that with other animals. It's just about getting the land producing multiple, different things and serving many different functions.
Could you expand on some of the stuff that you're working on here in Canada? If there are such beneficial effects, what could we as a committee recommend to help make that practice more widespread?
