I thank the witnesses for their informative statements and will help the committee as we go forward. This meeting is confined to a maximum of two hours. I propose that each member be given two minutes to address questions to the witnesses to ensure that all members have an opportunity to pose questions. Is that agreed? Agreed.

I have a question for Dr. Farrell on peat-based soils that are currently used for agriculture. What is the appropriate approach to take to these lands? Does she have examples of good practice where farmers have maintained farm incomes while simultaneously restoring these peatlands?
