Thank you, Chair. I'll try to make full use of my two minutes.
First of all, I note that the most successful tree-planting program at the municipal level in North America is actually in the County of Wellington, which is in my riding of Perth-Wellington. It's doing exceptional work and has been doing that for two decades now. I wanted to put up a quick plug there and waste more of my time, which is now drifting away.
Deputy Minister Vandergrift, when did NRCan become aware of the government's plan to plant two billion trees? On what date did you become aware of that commitment?
