Environment committee  Shall we send the material to you or the clerk?

Environment committee  There are other tools that could be brought to bear on assisting with conservation in the private landscape. I hadn't expected this question today, but we can provide you with a few more of those. One key aspect, though, of the work we do is that for every property we secure, wh

Environment committee  We had the same concern and actually got involved. We identified the highest-priority properties from a conservation point of view. We now have taken those properties over to make sure they remain in conservation status.

Environment committee  Really, the only limiting factor on how much more we can do in the private landscape is funding, honestly. That said, I don't think it's fully government's responsibility to do that. I think the communities need to step up. You need to have buy-in of the communities, like in the

Environment committee  Thank you for the question.

Environment committee  We actually have found that the partnerships are as diverse as Canada itself. Part of it depends as well on the type of land you're trying to conserve. Ranchlands in Alberta are quite a different partnership from what you're going to get in eastern Canada, for instance. But maybe

Environment committee  That's correct.

Environment committee  Yes, an additional $20 million.

Environment committee  It's 148 species at risk. But maybe for more detail, Michael, do you want to comment on that?

Environment committee  In the places where we apply the funds, yes.

Environment committee  Thank you. In my presentation I talked about the natural area conservation program as one of those kinds of private-public ways in which you can make more happen on the ground by bringing in leveraged dollars, and focusing it from a conservation planning point of view. But it al

Environment committee  Yes. It was $225 million over six years.
