Thank you, Mr. Leslie.
I would like to read one quick quote from Minister Wilkinson's press release from the August 2 media event. He says:
Yearly planting numbers will fluctuate depending on a variety of factors like individual tree species' life cycles, soil conditions, extreme weather events, such as drought or wildfires, reporting timelines from program recipients and seasonal climatic variation. For these reasons, the government will be adjusting the way in which it reports on progress made under the [two billion trees] program....
What do these reasons listed—like “tree species' life cycles”—have to do with counting trees from the other two programs?
