Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister and team, for being here today to speak to the environment committee.
Just last week I had the pleasure of helping to announce a Government of Canada initiative partnering with a cement company in my riding as well as a conservation authority with regard to migratory birds on Lake Ontario—the habitat stewardship program for species at risk. I wanted to thank you for making that a priority. I would say that unlike other governments, this government has taken a leadership role in the area of species at risk.
I'm wondering if you could tell us a bit more about that.
