Yes. Thank you, Chairman. I had a question about air quality monitoring, and that is whether the Department believes there is a sufficient network of air quality monitoring. The Minister has answered the question somewhat, but further information would be welcomed.

My other question relates to land use, and specifically to afforestation.

I received an email this morning from an organisation called the Social Economic Environmental Forestry Association, SEEFA, stating that, so far this year, we have reached a total of 650 ha, which is the monthly target. Given the pace at which we are afforesting, do we have any hope of reaching our target for 2030? Is there anything we can do in the Estimates to improve our chances of achieving that goal?
