If I speak, it may help my cough.
I am thinking about one of our first recommendations. If we want to have urban conservation, we need incentives. In Canada, there is a certain amount of public land, but a lot of it is above the 60th parallel. So these areas are not in urban centres. There is a lot of private land in urban centres. So if we want to conserve land without resorting to expropriation, we need to develop conservation incentives.
One of our recommendations has to do with ecological gifts, which is related to your federal program. Our recommendation also focuses on municipal incentives so that conservation does not just depend on what the citizen pays in property tax, but is also based on funds that could come from the government. So there is a recommendation that involves the ecological gifts program, which could take into account more conservation incentives, especially at the municipal level.
I would also like to talk about your EcoAction community funding program. Earlier, we mentioned that there wasn't enough money for project planning. The EcoAction community funding program should be supported.
