Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our fine public servants. We appreciate your testimony before us. There are too many interesting topics to discuss today. I'm going to focus a quick question on the SDGs and then shift most of my time on conservation.
Last July I had the privilege of delivering Canada's statement at the high-level political meetings in New York on the SDGs. It was definitely an eye-opener. I wonder if you feel that the Canadian public is sufficiently aware of the SDGs and understands how they relate to the implementation of domestic policy. I think one of the biggest challenges for Canada is convincing the public of the relevance of these SDGs. I don't think the average Canadian sees goals established by the UN as something concrete in their day-to-day life. How can we improve that situation?
