Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member opposite for his long-standing advocacy of conservation.
Let me be 100% clear. We always will stand up for our environment, and we will always stand up for our watersheds. We have made significant investments, and we will continue to do so. We have other things we also need to do, which is making sure that we support indigenous community-based monitoring in the oil sands. We need to address species at risk, including the recovery of caribou. We need to support other conservation programs.
I encourage those who have received support under this program to continue to look for other opportunities with our government to continue their good work.
