Natural Resources committee  Certainly, the bioeconomy is very interesting, and there are some real opportunities there, but I will turn to Mr. Hargrove on the more detailed points.

Natural Resources committee  At this stage, as I said, we are still working up with the provinces and broader stakeholder groups what the next stages are here. I'm not sure that we have specific numbers, although it's possible that ESDC will have more specific numbers than we do. I'll turn it back to Ms. Sc

Natural Resources committee  Yes, we're certainly very mindful of that. I've mentioned the word “opportunities”, and I think we do see that there are enormous opportunities in all parts of the country.

I will say that this has been subject to review by outside financial advisers. The advice they have given is that the financial option that's being considered and the asset value cont

Natural Resources committee  As I said, the government has committed to not increasing any public spending with respect to this. This will be privately financed. We've received advice that is specific to these points.

Natural Resources committee  The two billion trees objective is to plant two billion trees in 10 years. That is a marathon, not a sprint. We are engaged right now in a series of conversations with jurisdictions across the country to enter into agreements in principle and then ultimately funding agreements. I
