Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My question is for the commissioner for the environment.
Commissioner, in your fall 2013 report you said:
As of 31 March 2013, there were 518 species in Canada listed as at risk in Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act. Many factors can contribute to the decline of a species, placing it at risk. The most common is the loss and degradation of habitat....
Listing them by level of impact on habitat loss, what are those factors that lead to degradation of habitat?
