I apologize for not being able to answer in French.
There's a third issue in our resources that I really encourage you to add to renewal and replacement, and it's the preservation side of the agenda. We're hopeful that interests are coming together to collaborate. It's great to see the presentation here today from our largest corporate private holder in Canada focus largely on carbon sequestration. That is a real advancement, so we celebrate that.
What we're really advocating is the need for a balance on the landscape in order to sustain our cultural, ecological, and economic futures. In terms of the ledger right now, when you look at the balance, there's not enough focus on the preservation, whether you call it natural capital preservation, or ecological, or biological. About 10% of the boreal region is under some form of preservation. All our leadership companies, our first nations, and our conservation groups collectively support a goal of 50%, so we're far from a model that we can celebrate to the world.
The reason we need to balance this equation is that you need large interconnected areas in order for your full complement of biological diversity and wildlife to be sustained over the long term. We need to incentivize what can be done within our forest operations, and not starve that side of the agenda. A great deal of innovation can be done there that helps support the triple bottom line of the social capital, the economic, and the natural.
The other thing I'd add is that live planning for the future is now going on in about 60% of at least the boreal landscape. It's that planning that will help us reconcile all the uses. We really are supporting that; it's way up there in terms of our agenda. It also is recognizing the government-to-government relationship between aboriginal peoples and government, because that's a long-standing.... It's a patchwork across the country in terms of how those rights are recognized and respected.
I hope that's helpful.
