We don't have a count for the number of trees. We see that a little more than 18 million hectares were affected by wildland fire this year, so it's quite a lot. It's far more than we've experienced in the past. There were about 6,500 or more individual fires across the country.
The two billion trees program can help in at least two ways, probably more. One is that some fires we've seen in the last number of fire seasons burned so hot that they burned the soil level: They burned below the tree level and burned the bacteria. Those areas will not regenerate naturally. You have to go in there and intervene in order for those areas to regenerate. That's one way that two billion trees can help.
The other way it can help is by encouraging provinces and territories...or not encouraging them, because we know they're already thinking about it, but supporting them in planting trees and thinking about the ways they're managing their forests to ensure resiliency and adaptation in the long run and to protect communities. For example, in the funding we recently announced with Yukon, they're going to use their two billion trees contribution to create firebreaks and some protection for some of the communities that might be affected in the future by fire.
