Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It was done in conjunction with the Protected Areas Strategy, which has been in the process, in development since 1999, so that’s a very long process. It’s been many years of work and also many partners involved in the Prote
cted Areas Strategy. I’d like to ask the Minister
some questions about this draft Conservation Plan which came out, what some of the changes are, what it is intending for our territory, in terms of conservation.
I’d like to know first of all from the Minister, I know that we have lands right now which currently prohibit any and all forms of industrial development. I’d like to know from the Minister if he can give what percentage of our total lands area are currently prohibited from development. Thank you.
