Thank you very much, Mr. Storseth. I appreciate that very much.
My questions will be about Parks Canada.
On page 26, it says that the intent is to have more programs and broaden the network of protected areas in Canada. To better measure progress, for instance, you have to have more personnel. However, there were $29 million in cuts to Parks Canada, and 600 biologists, archeologists and others were laid off. It is very difficult to do effective management with less expertise.
How can the minister ensure that there will be more protected areas and that the Aichi sites will be respected?
