Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all the witnesses for being here today. This is very interesting, and you are very passionate.
We started with a national conservation plan. We then had a tour of Canada. We were, in fact, able to see the damage caused by urban sprawl, in particular.
I was at the Forum québécois sur l'énergie last year, in Shawinigan. My questions are for the CRE Laval and will concern that event.
When we developed the national conservation plan, we insisted that the Aichi targets, so 17% for land areas and 10% for marine areas, be written into the plan. Unfortunately, we are saying that these targets are something we "should" achieve and not something the conservation plan must achieve.
Do you think these targets would be a good start for a national conservation plan and an urban conservation plan?
