Mr. Chair, my colleague's excellent question shows how government can work with local organizations whose members understand the community and help support initiatives on the ground that make impactful, significant support for our environment changes on an ongoing basis.
My colleague talked about organizations which we partner with, including Ducks Unlimited. We have heard from Ducks Unlimited in committee several times over the last few weeks, with regard to the development of a national conservation plan. There is the NCC. These are all groups, including our fisher and angler communities, that work to preserve the landscape in a working landscape concept. This means they understand the principle of using land for productivity, while ensuring conservation.
Some of the things we have done to support meaningful environmental protection in our country since 2006, which my colleagues have voted against, include: nearly $200 million to help address the health and environmental risks posed by dangerous chemicals through the chemical management plan; $100 million to support clean energy generation in Canada's forest sector through the next generation renewable power initiative; $97 million to develop and promote clean energy technologies; and $86 million to support clean energy actions, this year. I hope they will support those in the future.
