Thank you very much for the question.
In fact, the latest budget will add nearly 200 FTEs into the science component of Parks Canada, which is a very significant contribution. That will play out in a number of very important ways. When it comes to protection, it's not just the number of square kilometres that are important, but it's where those square kilometres are and what they protect. You can only understand that with really solid science.
The other part that's important, which I think everybody who has been in this business has learned over the years, is that what is up against that can either help or limit the degree of protection you do inside your own areas. With this increased science, we will be better able to talk to first nations, to Métis, to Inuit, to provinces, to territories, and better able to talk to regional and municipal governments. In all of those instances, the science should lead us all to better decisions, better interconnectivity, and better protection.
