Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our departmental officials for being with us this morning.

We've heard a lot about how important consultation is and about the length of time to create an MPA. We've heard it can take seven to 10 years to protect marine areas. How will the department speed up that process to get a target of, say, five years for a protected area?
