Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you folks for being here.
Sorry I'm not going to get my full time, but I just want to touch a little on what Mr. Bossio said, and I'll try to be as short as I can. The resources put in budget 2018—money for biodiversity, species at risk, and recovery initiatives—amounts to some $1.3 billion over five years, yet you said we lacked resources. Is that money going to jumpstart this process—and here I include the sustainable development goals unit for monitoring and reporting. Are these steps in the right direction getting us to where we need to be in terms of achieving our targets?
