Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for appearing today and for your very enlightening presentations.
My question is with regard to the connections we were talking about earlier. My interests lie in connecting urban and suburban Canadians with nature, which is part of the goal, and certainly I think it should be the goal, of a national conservation plan.
I was very privileged to be able to take a tour of the Earth Rangers Centre a couple of years ago to learn a bit about the award-winning features of the green home. As I understand it, it's one of the most energy-efficient buildings in North America. I was very impressed.
I want to know how you think we can connect urban and suburban Canadians, who are interested in making their homes greener and respecting our planet but who really have absolutely no connection to nature, to our national conservation plan. What can we do to make the plan relevant to them?
My question is for you, Mr. Ugarenko, but I'd also like to know if the Earth Rangers would like to answer, too.
