Page 6 of the report says that only 16.5 million trees were planted in 2022, which is well short of the goal of 60 million trees for that year. I would like to draw your attention to a CBC article from August 2, with the following headline: “Ottawa announces its 2 billion tree program is surpassing targets”. That is not well short of what was in the auditor's report from just three and a half months earlier.
Could you explain the cause of this miraculous turnaround in just three and a half months?
