Thank you, Chair.

I'm going to Mr. DeMarco.

I was pleasantly surprised, when I was doing some research here, to see that the U.S. is actually further ahead than Canada is in identifying marine protected areas. I believe there are 190 countries that have signed on to the 30 by 30. I'm just wondering where Canada sits in relationship to these other countries. Do you know the percentage of the U.S. marine protected areas?

See context to find out what was said next.
