We need to add domestic targets. There are none at the moment.
On the one hand, the targets ensure that the federal government takes into account all threats to nature and, on the other, they provide a solid foundation for attracting commitment by the provinces and indigenous peoples.
It's very important that these targets be specific and that they reflect Canada's international commitments to the Kunming‑Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
Along the same lines, we recommend that the report required by the act explain the main threats to biodiversity. That's missing from the act and it needs to be added.
