Thank you, Mr. Chair.
If I could echo Mr. Carrie's comments about the Earth Rangers to you, Ms. Barocas, I was so impressed when you were talking even about just the three examples. I remembered about five or six years ago that I had been to visit the headquarters with the late Honourable Jim Flaherty, who was a big supporter, which I think was because of the family component. When we, at this committee, did our study of the national conservation plan to inform the minister about what the committee thought should be included in the plan, children and youth were a top priority, as was urban conservation. I think you've done a really great job of putting those two things together towards your goal of conservation and raising a new generation of young people who care about the environment. I wanted to thank you for that.
If I could go back to CVC, I'd like to ask Terri and Mike how these partnerships come about. For example, you mentioned UPS being a six-figure donor and very involved in tree planting. You talked about corporate grants and cash donations from RBC, TD Friends of the Environment, Brookfield Homes, Scotiabank, and Dufferin Aggregates. These are all very large companies. If your focus is on large companies, how could smaller and medium-sized enterprises also consider these programs? How could they manage the scale of them to fit a smaller business? Do you approach them? Who makes the first approach to whom?
For the Lakeview waterfront connection, for example, you mentioned you were looking for corporate partners. Would you just start with those big companies? Are they the low-hanging fruit and then you move to smaller ones? How does it all get started? Do they come to you or do you go to them?
