Projects of national interest are very important to our government. The projects we have are important for economic development. We remain committed to economic development and economic self-sufficiency. Major projects of national interest, which are discussed with the provinces, remain central projects.
However, as you heard, in the strategy we have a pillar called “building Canada well”. Using tools such as mapping, internationally recognized insights into a mitigation strategy and other conservation tools, such as working landscapes, it will be possible to mitigate and enable development and conservation projects.
Canada is a very big country. Thirty per cent of our territory is far from 100%. We're going to work with communities, with provinces and with developers to be able to meet the 30% target, but also to be able to carry out the development projects we want to do.
