Thank you all for your testimony today.
In respect to some of the habitat—I think Ducks Unlimited can talk about this—we've made some significant advancements since 2007 on boreal forest protection. In fact, I think that at this point Canada has about 10% of its total boreal forest protected.
How important is that for species at risk, for wildlife habitat, and in particular for waterfowl management in Canada? Maybe you could speak to the impetus for the spike in the protection and growth of that protection since 2007.
This questions is for Ducks Unlimited. Thank you.
