Thank you, Madam new Chair of the day.
I would like to thank the witnesses for sharing this important information with us. It is really very relevant.
I will first ask Ms. Granskou a question.
Could you tell us more about the five recommendations you shared with us at the end of your presentation? The first talks about supporting national parks and national wildlife areas. Ultimately, you're proposing an increase in funding programs and help for managing the sites.
Recently, Parks Canada had its budget cut by $29 million, and scientists, including biologists, were let go.
We are wondering how, in these conditions, we can continue to protect parks, habitats and ecosystems. It becomes even more important to reinvest in these programs.
What do you think of these cuts?
