Thank you, Mr. Chair.
And thank you to our witnesses for being here today.
I'd like to discuss today and ask you about ensuring that urban Canadians are a part of this national conservation plan.
Mr. Davidson, you mentioned that nature nation envisions a place where every Canadian feels a personal connection to the natural world and that strengthening a “nature first” ethic is achieved by inspiring and motivating Canadians to value and conserve nature.
How do we ensure that urban Canadians feel this connection? If they're not fortunate enough to have a cottage in northern Ontario or in Muskoka, or if they don't live near a lake or near the banks of a river, how do we do that?
