Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses here who are prepared to testify on this very important report we're dealing with.
We saw devastating wildfires impact families, communities and businesses across Canada this past summer, and experts are warning of a similarly damaging wildfire season this summer. In fact, it could be argued that with the low snow cover, it could be much worse.
Mr. Vandergrift, does the two billion trees program fund tree-planting in deforested areas or areas impacted by wildfires?
