Thank you very much for your question.
When we look at Canada's geography, it's very tempting to say that it's not complicated and that, since there is no one up there, we will protect the Far North and develop the south.
However, as I was saying a little earlier, Canadians love nature. Canadians need access to nature, and their health depends on it. So it's important to find solutions for the southern part of the country, which is home to more Canadians.
As a result, all existing restoration methods will continue to be used. Restoring degraded environments is a promising strategy.
I come from a rural region in the riding of Châteauguay—Les Jardins‑de‑Napierville. Farmlands are not used much as of yet, for example. Even though we use working landscapes, we must learn to manage them while also being able to conserve biodiversity.
There are also all the other effective conservation measures. For example, in their forests or on their large pastures, our colleagues in Alberta have some incredible examples where those measures have a major impact on maintaining biodiversity.
These tools will serve as a means to promote conservation. They may not be entirely and directly linked to the 30% by 2030 target, but they will still help protect biodiversity.
