Not only are protected areas the responsibility of Canada's Department of the Environment and Climate Change, which consults with other departments, but when the government makes a decision regarding land protection, it is officially communicated to the Chief Forester, and then we integrate it and adjust allowable cuts, if required. The aim is to ensure the sustainability of the resource by avoiding overcutting. So I can't tell you whether there are too many or too few protected areas.
As part of our work, in Quebec, in the recovery plans that have been in effect since 2013, there are nearly 2.8 million hectares of protected areas, which are broken down by region in the documents I've provided. This has been maintained for the 2023‑2028 period.
In addition, south of the northern limit of attributable forests, there are 2.8 million hectares of protected areas for woodland caribou. These are findings and facts that we incorporate into our work when decision makers take measures.
