The proposal for that approach came from the Climate Change Advisory Council. That is an area where the correct approach has not been resolved. It is an issue that is connected to the forestry sector and the complicated understanding of what is happening in respect of our land use emissions. Part of the work being done in the land use review will allow us to resolve that matter. I would not rule it out. Future emissions savings have not been included in any of the existing allocations but as part of the land use review, further analysis as to how afforestation needs to be best managed is required.
