Thank you.

First of all, Ms. Nowlan, you mentioned that Canada presently has less than 1% of the waters protected under the Oceans Act.

Can you tell me what percentage of waters are protected under other protections, such as the national marine conservation areas, the marine national wildlife areas, fairly restrictive fishing closures, and so on?
