Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague, the member for Brome—Missisquoi, for his question and for his commitment to nature. It is important and precious to Canadians. That is why our government remains committed to protecting 30% of our lands and waters by 2030. Our new initiative, “A Force of Nature: Canada's Strategy to Protect Nature”, will protect nature more effectively and at a lower cost, specifically by mobilizing private capital. Canadians love nature, and so do we. It needs to be protected, and that is exactly what we will do.
