Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to return to the question I left off on in regard to barriers. One barrier of diversifying was just mentioned earlier, I believe, by Natural Resources Canada. That was the fact that it's too expensive to be making diversified forests or having diversified tree planting. This is a pretty large concern and a red flag for the program, one that has immense vulnerability considering many of the targets for a healthy forest.
Sure, you can make a big monoculture forest, but it's going to die. It's not going to have the ability to sustain itself. It's actually going to add carbon, ultimately, if it fails. I think diversity is a requirement for a successful forest that is a very good carbon sink. I think that's an important piece of the discussion.
To Natural Resources Canada, what cost is going to ensure you have the ability to do the amount of tree planting you've committed to, in addition to ensuring that it is diversified? What is the deficit number?
