Madam Chair, in 2015, when we first formed government, less than 1% of Canada's oceans were protected.
We set an ambitious target of 10% by 2020. We exceeded that. We are almost at 14%. We know there is more work to do. We are now committed to protecting 25% of Canada's oceans by 2025, and 30% by 2030.
We know that the sustainability of our oceans is extremely important and that is why we are going to continue to make sure that we make these important conservation targets.
