You may know that there are a total of 43 areas of concern that are shared between the United States within the Great Lakes basin. Twelve of them are Canadian, and five of them are binational. The Detroit River is a great example.
The Bay of Quinte is one of those areas of concern. As you know, we've been tackling it for a very long time. I'm pleased to say that we've completed all actions with respect to the beneficial use impairments, which is very positive. I'd say most actions have been completed. Then we'll move into assessing the recovery of those impaired ecosystems and putting that on a pathway to delisting. That's one concrete example that we're doing through the freshwater action plan.
As you know, in budget 2023, the government announced $420 million over 10 years to really try to accelerate that work. Restoration is a big part of that, in addition to looking at how we're tackling toxic and nuisance algae throughout the system, looking at coastal resiliency and working with our indigenous partners to make sure that they're more directly engaged with Great Lakes stewardship and governance. Those are some examples in your own backyard of how we're putting that investment to use.
