Our government is taking ambitious action to continue protecting our oceans and coasts. Since we were elected in 2015, Canada has gone from protecting less than 1% of our marine coastal areas to over 14% today. We’re also taking action to ban harmful single-use plastics and eliminate plastic waste by 2030, and in Budget 2022, we made the largest investment ever in protecting our oceans by expanding the now $3.5 billion Oceans Protection Plan.
