Thank you very much.
The young people in your riding should be very concerned. As the minister pointed out during her opening remarks, since the 1970s about 60% of our wildlife is gone. Canada is one of five countries that represents about three-quarters of the world's remaining wilderness, which positions us uniquely to take serious action and set an example for the world.
In budget 2018, we set aside $1.3 billion for nature and conservation efforts. To put that in perspective, that's the largest single investment of its kind in the history of our country. We're moving forward with protected spaces. We're moving forward through the nature fund to partner with different organizations that are going to establish protected areas that are key habitat.
The specifics on all the different species at risk that you mentioned may be listed would vary, whether it's the steelhead trout, the southern resident killer whale or the different caribou species. I'd be happy to deal with them in more specificity if you wish.
