Okay, thank you very much.
First of all, I want to thank all of the witnesses.
One of the great things about going last is I get to do that, to thank everybody, but one of the bad things is that a lot of the questions I would have asked have already been asked and answered. It's a bit of a challenge.
I want to specifically thank CPAWS for being here. I'm not really sure that last line of questioning was appropriate. I nearly jumped in on you there, Greg, to ask the chair for relevance. I think you were right to point out that a lot of organizations, a lot of industries, receive funding from multiple sources, so I do apologize on behalf of the committee for that.
Actually, Greg stepped on one of my questions when he asked with regard to the types of trees and how we do this. It brought me back to my youth a bit. All through university, every spring before I'd start my summer job, I would plant urban trees for the City of London back at a time when this was actually run by a public utilities commission, so I'm aging myself a little bit. I know how difficult it is to plant some of these trees that are older, the 10-, 15-, or 20-year trees, whether you want to call them boulevard trees or decorative trees in urban settings. London had a really good reputation for doing this.
We have had a lot of questions about what types of trees are good. I think that there's been a lot of conversation about this, and I don't want to rehash that discussion, because it depends on where you're putting these trees and on what your goal is for these trees.
I would like to ask Tree Canada this. I'm a member of Parliament in a mostly urban riding. Specifically in an urban setting, what advice would you give us to set standards or try to advise either the provinces or in some cases the municipalities on how to proceed or how to develop an urban canopy program?
