Regarding Mr. Epp's question, right now we have very few biodiversity assessments. However, metagenomic techniques are increasingly available. Since we are not monitoring the situation, it's as if we didn't have statistics on the health of individuals. It's very difficult to develop public policy based on a picture that is inaccurate.
I would therefore like to take this opportunity to make our decision‑makers aware of the importance of having a statistics program that would take regional realities into account when making decisions or recommendations. More effort or investment is needed to encourage follow‑up analyses that are necessary for the development of these portraits.
