Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Froese, I'm going to ask my question quickly. Both in your opening remarks and in your answers, you did a good job of explaining that forests are carbon sinks. If we want to keep it that way, we need to cultivate them. That's what silviculture is.
In recent years, we've seen insect epidemics and wildfires. I'm from Quebec, but I know British Columbia and the rest of Canada experienced the same things. There is a little federal funding to support forest communities in that regard, but almost none for silviculture. The government did away with the two billion trees program, and as far as I know, there isn't a federal program that supports silviculture—a very important sector of activity. Take, for example, the recent boreal caribou situation in Quebec; forestry companies were asked to close logging roads. The two billion trees program could have been used to close logging roads.
Can you tell me what types of federal support are available for silviculture, to your knowledge?
