Thank you. It's a very good question.
On land use planning, I think the best way to look at it is that land use planning is becoming increasingly required as one means to help resolve questions around the need and in fact the duty the crown has for aboriginal consultation. What's happened, particularly over the last ten years, is that there have been affirmations of aboriginal rights in case law that require consultation, and land use planning is a key mechanism through which to do that.
Governments are behind on actually moving forward on land use planning in a way that goes beyond putting a little bit of money towards it. Effective land use planning requires anywhere from a $5 million to a $10 million exercise over a period of five to eight years, and it's comprehensive. The Canadian Boreal Initiative is probably one of the lead partners out there in the field working with governments, first nations, industry, and others to advance that kind of sophisticated exercise that then can reduce conflict in the field.
It's absolutely fundamental, but because it's a process towards an outcome that takes time, you can imagine it's not the highest priority around cabinet tables. That's why we urge you to support it as part of increasing certainty for the forest sector.
On the co-benefits in carbon, there are ways through land use planning now to actually bring carbon into the game in a pre-market way, because carbon, and forest carbon, will be on our markets in the future. Canada should get into the game and through land use planning have that be one of the filters or priorities that is looked at in terms of making choices on what land goes into what type of activity.
There's a good policy environment in Ontario and B.C. right now to look at carbon offsets, and that would then be brought into land use planning decisions.
That's on the first question. Would you like me to touch on the--
