Natural Resources committee  Thank you for that question. We have met with Mr. Desjardins. We are not part of his coalition. We have our own initiative across interests. For instance, in Quebec we're focused across our interests with the province on whether there are barriers to sustainability practices that can be removed to incentivize our goals.

Natural Resources committee  There are others in the Canadian Boreal Initiative who are more engaged in the work in Quebec. I personally have not seen the film, so I really can't comment on it, I'm afraid. I try not to freelance where I'm not knowledgeable.

Natural Resources committee  I apologize for not being able to answer in French. There's a third issue in our resources that I really encourage you to add to renewal and replacement, and it's the preservation side of the agenda. We're hopeful that interests are coming together to collaborate. It's great to see the presentation here today from our largest corporate private holder in Canada focus largely on carbon sequestration.

Natural Resources committee  I'm sorry about the confusion.

Natural Resources committee  To clarify, it's 25% of the carbon dioxide emissions that are currently being emitted from forest regions. It's not the forest sector, but emissions that are coming from forest regions, from a variety of activity.

Natural Resources committee  No, I mean forests internationally.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you very much. It is a real pleasure for me to make this presentation here today. Our three recommendations are for the committee to study and to look at in the coming months. We would like to focus your attention today on three areas. One is federal support for land use planning; the second is climate change in forests; the third is natural capital accounting.

Natural Resources committee  He was not able to make it today and sends his apologies.
