Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks, folks.
I'll go with Ms. Lindsay if I could. We know that Canada's forests can be altered by climate change, just as certain forestry practices can alter a forest's ability to mitigate climate change. Now in Nova Scotia we have very little Crown land, as most of it is privately owned. That puts a lot of responsibility on woodlot owners and the governments that regulate them to practise good forestry management.
I recognize there are many woodlot owners who positively and sustainably manage their land, but I'm interested in whether you would work with individual woodlot owners to teach these good practices that will allow our forests to serve as a potential means towards climate mitigation.
