Thank you.
I appreciate the witnesses being here.
Mr. Bonnett, you touched briefly on preserving farmland, wetlands and forest stands. There would be some type of incentive per acre, annual payments from a governing body to encourage that.
When the land is left and there are trees growing, the land is protected. It stays healthier and more diverse. I'm thinking of our boreal forest. I think you're recommending the same thing, the same principle, for Canada's boreal forest, which is the largest carbon sink in the world, that as part of international agreements there should be some type of credit for Canada's boreal forest. Would you agree?
