Thank you, Chair.
Thank you all so much for being here today. They were outstanding presentations with a lot of information. My brain is reeling right now, trying to get it all in there and figure out how I want to frame some questions.
I'd like to start with Mr. Coulter, if I may.
Alberta set up a market-based system back in 2007 to drive the carbon sink model in agriculture, in a sense. I know that it was to drive down emissions and to use carbon sinks as a carbon offset, to offset the emissions that were being generated in other parts of the economy. It gave businesses the opportunity to do that.
Would you say that was the catalyst that has driven the carbon sink model that now exists in Alberta?
