Thank you, Mr. Chair. Tree planting activities are primarily aimed at regenerating areas that have been cut over by loggers and other harvesters of
forest products. When people buy a timber cutting licence or a timber cutting permit and they pay fees for the right to harvest trees, then portions of the fees go into the reforestation fund and provide a basis for us to regenerate the sites that have been harvested.
There have been programs in the past where we have offered tree planting experiences to school children. We should be able to entertain doing that again, as well.
