Thank you for that question.
The signature we got to do last week in Klemtu for the national marine conservation area reserve was a really important moment for our country and for the province of British Columbia. This agreement was signed by six coastal first nations, the Province of British Columbia and the federal government, which all worked together on this reserve. It is very important, because it will help with the protection of whales and many different kinds of fish, as well as with other wildlife.
To be clear, though, there will be the continued ability for commercial and recreational fishing in the national marine conservation area reserve. They will go hand in hand. What we will see is sustainable fishing in that area. That's really important as a way of life to the coastal economy. We're seeing both work very much hand in hand. It was a very beautiful moment to see how we can all come together to do great things.
I know my time is up, but I have one last thing. I want to reiterate the size, because it's so massive. The area that was protected is one and a half times the size of Banff National Park, and it's larger than Prince Edward Island.
