Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the panel for being here.

I'm on the other coast, the east coast, but I was born in Vancouver, so I'm on both.

I guess we're all in favour of MPAs to protect the marine life and the tradition that has gone on from time immemorial, as you said, Mr. Enns, but we also spoke about land protection. Although that's probably not part of the MPAs, are we moving fast enough on that front in coordinating both the land and water?

I ask anybody to comment on that. Are we balancing the two, or are we behind on one front or the other?
