On the species at risk, I support 100% what you're trying to do, but one problem.... I'll use my own riding. The loggerhead shrike is on the species at risk list. That is not native to my area at all, but special interest groups have got it on the list and they're trying to expand it into my area. I don't have a problem with that, except they want me or the producer and everybody else I represent to pay for it. There are flaws in the system, and we need to correct some of them. So I hope you remember that kind of thing.
