Thank you for the question.
Actually, your colleagues raised the issue about public lands, but seven of those lands are under provincial jurisdiction. Canada can't barge in and say it's important, that it's the provinces' responsibility, but that the government will decide how these lands are used.
Obviously, public lands are important places to consider protecting. However, that requires working with provinces and territories, and with first nations. Large-scale projects that have to be carried out also need to be taken into consideration. This will undoubtedly be the subject of collective discussions if we want to achieve our objectives.
