These regulations are a vital step forward in protecting our peatlands, reducing carbon emissions and building resilience to wildfire. They are based on sound science, shaped by public consultation and designed to balance environmental protection with practical land management. They do not ignore the wildfire risk; they address it head on with a smarter, more sustainable strategy. So I urge the House to support these regulations not just for the sake of our peatlands but for the long-term safety, sustainability and prosperity of our rural communities and natural environment.
