I don't have it in front of me in this binder, but I did have a look at that. The U.S. is slightly ahead on marine protected areas than Canada.
The 30 by 30 and the 25% by 2025, for that matter, are the product of international negotiations. The vast majority of countries agreed with them.
Is it pure science that goes into the 30 by 30? No, it's a negotiation. There has been a recognition that the lower percentages that have been agreed to in the past have not yet succeeded in halting and reversing biodiversity loss. There's been a ramping up or an increase in ambition.
I would have to get back to the committee in writing as to where Canada sits if you ranked all of the countries. I believe you may be able to get that information from the secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity. I believe it has an inventory of that information.
