Mr. Mike Glennon:

We all need to be mindful that when we were calculating our climate change obligations, we were not doing so on the basis of the 2,500 ha we are planting right now. The economic cost of our failing is greater than we are putting figures on. We were planting only 2,500 ha last year and the year before, despite the stated Government objective of 8,000 ha. When the monetary cost of not hitting our climate change targets starts to crystallise, someone will ask many very difficult questions.
