Thank you, Mr. Simard.
It's important, I would say, not to take for granted our commitment to two billion trees. I have said time and again that there's no path to net zero that doesn't involve our forests. I don't need to tell you, but it's worth reminding ourselves that we have forest ecosystems that support the well-being of Canadians and also absorb carbon pollution. They lower emissions.
We're finalizing a solution for planting those trees. We're working with ECCC and we're working with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada on an initiative of huge scale. It is very ambitious, what we're doing in forests. It requires strong partnerships right across Canada to succeed.
We have worked and will continue to work with provincial and territorial governments, indigenous peoples, industry and non-governmental stakeholders to make sure we realize this commitment. We are committed to using nature-based solutions to fight climate change, including two billion trees over the next 10 years to clean our air, clean our water and make our communities greener. There's also forest innovation, expanding market opportunities and indigenous investments. We are putting a lot of money into this because it's very clear—to your point—that it will work.
