Thank you, Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for being here.

I'm going to ask my questions in English.

You can answer in French if you like.

I know this is a Quebec issue, but it's also a national issue and an international issue.

In your opening statement, you opened with our international agreements that have been signed, and the sustainable development goals are some of those agreements that we signed in 2015 with 193 different countries. Given your legal obligations under the Species at Risk Act, it wasn't your decision, was it, to propose the emergency order?
