Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Saanich—Gulf Islands for her continued care for the environment over many years.
We are working right now on a study on the Aichi targets to try get Canada's protected land from 10% to 17% and our marine area from 1% to 10% by 2020, which are pretty ambitious targets. Many of the witnesses we heard from suggested that in the long run, Canada should be looking at 50% of the land and 30% of marine areas protected in some form in Canada.
I would be interested in the member's views on the future for conservation and protection in Canada.
