Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for the question, his involvement and his advocacy on this important issue. In December, countries from around the world met in Montreal to address biodiversity loss. More than one million species are at risk globally, including 640 species here in Canada. Representatives from more than 160 countries set their differences aside, and we committed to protecting 30% of our land and oceans by 2030. It is a landmark agreement that Canadians should be proud of, since we were at the centre of this agreement.
