Thank you very much for your question.
Indeed, $1.3 billion over five years is a historic investment and a major announcement. Canadians are very proud of that because they want the government to preserve parks and protected areas. We also said that we would achieve our international protection goal of protecting 10% of our oceans and 17% of our land.
We have already announced several initiatives. We announced the creation of the Tallurutiup Imanga protected area, which represents 2% of the oceans. We worked with the Inuit, and it was amazing.
We have projects in the southern Okanagan region of British Columbia. There are also those in Thaidene Nene, the Manitoba Lowlands, the Churchill and Nelson rivers, the Magdalen Islands, James Bay, the southern Strait of Georgia. We are also continuing to work on the Scott Islands designation project.
There are certainly many possible projects, but we must work with the provinces and territories. I know that environmentalists and philanthropists have a great interest in this. This is a good opportunity to do what it takes to meet our targets abroad and what Canadians want us to do to protect the environment, parks and protected areas. It is all the more important to do this because there is also the context of climate change.
