Madam Speaker, nature is core to Canada's national identity. From our oceans, to the St. Elias Mountains, to the St. Lawrence River, Canadians take pride in the beauty of our nature, which is also the foundation of our shared well-being and economy. I am proud that Canada is remaining a competitive world leader as the global community transitions to a nature-positive, net-zero economy. Our government launched the largest nature conservation campaign in Canadian history and funded the establishment of three new national parks in this year's budget. Can the Minister of Environment and Climate Change provide the House with an update on our nature agenda?

  • Re: Bill C-73 
Madam Speaker, yesterday, we took a major step toward launching Canada's 2030 nature strategy by introducing Bill C-73, the nature accountability act, in the House. Canada is the second country in the world to do so. The bill would hold our government and future governments accountable in making progress on our ambitious nature protection goals. The bill and the strategy provide a coordinated approach to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, help protect nature for future generations and ensure we reach our goal of protecting at least 30% of our lands, waters and ice by 2030.
