There are several, but I'll keep it short.
Many of the things that Dr. Mills mentioned are related to our university and industry. It's unusual in this world to get mining companies around the table to invest in environmental protection. In the last few years, six mining companies in the region have invested over $30 million in changing their environmental practices regarding the life cycle of a mine. All of this has revolved around our university and the innovative deployment of our researchers. This is not a common practice in the world, and it is one of the unique things about our university.
With respect to the forest sector and everything related to carbon sequestration and management, it is extremely important to plan well for the life of the forests, to operate them for, by and with the indigenous communities here. That's a hallmark of our university, and that's how we should be doing it.
Finally, I'll talk about the agricultural area. On carbon sequestration, I mentioned that we need to increase our agricultural production capacity by 40%. Organic farming is going to be an extremely important part of that, as it will produce more per hectare than other sectors of the industry using traditional ways of farming.
So it is the work of academics, in conjunction with farmers, industry and forestry companies, that allows us to think about a better future for a greener economy in Canada.
