Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions are for Mr. Gilvesy.
ALUS is making a major impact in my constituency of Pontiac, in the Outaouais. Good progress has been made. I hope to have the chance to invite someone from my constituency who plays a very active role in the ALUS program.
First, congratulations on this wonderful initiative. I'm so pleased that the sustainable Canadian agricultural partnership has funded more programs of this type.
I read your recommendations, and they resonate strongly in my constituency. Your recommendations, which you made jointly with other organizations such as the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, include the importance of aligning actions across governments with the national biodiversity strategy's goals and targets. These recommendations are set out in section 1.2 of your report.
Given the coordination required between the different levels of government and the farmers to protect biodiversity, it takes a long time for ALUS‑type projects to get off the ground.
Can you shed some light on this recommendation, which I think is important?
