Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada has made significant progress on its commitment to plant two billion trees. As of December 2023, the government had agreements signed or under negotiation to plant over 393 million trees, with over 200 contribution agreements with provinces, territories, municipalities, indigenous organizations and other groups. As of the most recent progress update in August 2023, the program had supported the planting of over 110 million trees since it was launched in 2021. As funding recipients have until May 31, 2024, to submit planting numbers for the 2023 planting season, an update on progress to date will be provided shortly thereafter.
