Thank you, Deputy Minister.
To that I would say that the recovery for species at risk takes some time. Once recovery measures are put in place, we are able to measure those results.
In terms of approach, I would highlight that since 2018, in co-operation and coordination with the provinces and territories, we've moved from a single species approach to a more of a multi-species ecosystem approach. That is key to the understanding of species and their role within the biodiversity areas in which they live.
I understand the question, but the response at this time is that we think it's a bit too soon to say we aren't able to meet the target.
