I didn't know you had translators. Sorry. I'll speak more slowly.
Canada has done a credible job of creating the right plans. For example, the pan-Canadian framework on clean growth and climate change recognizes the importance of forest management and innovation for things like using forests as a carbon sink or using much more wood in construction, as well as the important role for wood in generating bioenergy and bioproducts. But plans are not actions. We need to close the gap between plans and research and commercialization.
The government's expert panel on sustainable finance has identified the need to link access to capital with government policy-making around climate. Peak Renewables supports that work and urges government to think of small businesses and start-ups like us as they do the important work of incentivizing investments in companies that are striving to be part of the solution.
In closing, I would like to thank this committee again for inviting us here today. The forest sector will be an important part of Canada's post-COVID economic recovery, an important driver of innovation, an important partner in helping governments meet their clean energy and emissions target and a living example of how to do all of that in partnership with our indigenous peoples and rural communities.
Thanks again for your time. Brian and I will answer any questions you might have.
