Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, and officials, for coming here and spending this time with us. I find this very informative, and I offer a warm welcome to you and your officials.
I want to concentrate on the supplementary (C)s.
I see that in the supplementary (C)s there is an internal reallocation in Parks Canada for the creation and expansion of new national parks. Where I live in southwestern Ontario, we have the highest level of biodiversity in the country but also, unfortunately, the most species at risk.
What are the key opportunities that you see for expanding protected lands in southern Ontario?
