Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Still, I would like to remind him that, when we took office in 2015, Canada was not even protecting 1% of its territorial waters and coastlines. Now, that figure is 15% and will likely rise to 20% in the next few years, as we make our way to at least 30% by 2030, the target agreed upon by all the countries at COP15 in Montreal. We are investing record amounts, particularly in partnership with indigenous peoples across the country, to protect more and more of our land.
