Thank you very much.
I would now like to move to Mr. Marois who, I would remind you, is the President of the Conseil régional de l'environnement de la Montérégie. This area, which is primarily agricultural, does in fact comprise a large number of lakes and rivers that are very seriously affected.
Mr. Marois, you probably know that there is a system providing for compensation for agricultural best practices—specifically payment of a maximum amount of $5,000 for creating a buffer strip in agricultural areas. The federal government has just renewed that program for an additional year. I would like to know whether you and your team have considered that possibility. A whole series of solutions is being proposed as a way of starting to control the blue-green algae problem.
