In my questions, I would like to make specific reference to the March 2008 report of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development. The report deals with the protection of species at risk. With particular reference to an inventory of species at risk, on page 9, paragraph 5.20 of the report prepared by the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, here is what he says:
There is no comprehensive inventory of species at risk to provide the baseline information needed for the development of science-based recovery strategies and action plans.
Do you believe that there should be a legislative requirement for detailed inventories that provide scientific information? This does not seem to be the case up to now. According to the commissioner, there is no inventory of species at risk that would allow for the development of science-based action plans.
Do you feel that your recommendations should be considered in establishing the inventory?
