Mr. Speaker, halting and reversing the biodiversity decline presents a major challenge that we all need to tackle together. Canada is providing leadership on the world stage when it comes to tackling climate change and protecting nature. Can the Minister of Environment and Climate Change update the House on the latest developments towards achieving an ambitious global framework on biodiversity?

Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her work and activism on this issue. I am proud to announce to the House that, at the request of the United Nations, Canada has agreed to host the next United Nations conference on the protection of biological diversity in December. This important conference must be the moment when countries all over the world, including Canada, commit to protecting at least 30% of our land and oceans by 2030, and to reversing biodiversity loss by 2050.
