Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's always great to have two rounds in one meeting.
We're in early days in this study, but we've already heard the impact of urban conservation on all Canadians. The statistics keep coming up from independent witness groups. Over 80% of Canadians live in cities. On the conversation we had about the tree canopy today, and even with regard to some of my colleagues' comments on climate change, it's very interesting to talk about trees as a climate change adaptation mechanism and to think about what that can mean in the cities.
You're being subject to something that's quite an interesting dynamic in that you have consensus around the table on the importance of this.
I will close my comments by asking, would any of you—and I would like to go down the row—characterize this study as a happy little make-work project?
