I want to come back to a point that I find very interesting and that you mentioned in your brief on page 3: the role of socio-economic analysis in listing. I took the time to reread the 2006-2007 annual report related to the Species at Risk Act and especially the April 2006 order in council. The order in council states that:
[...] the Newfoundland and Labrador population, the Laurentian North population, the Maritimes population of Atlantic Cod [...] and the Interior Fraser population of Coho Salmon [...]
were not added to the list because of the potential significant socio-economic implications of doing so.
Does it happen often that certain species are not added to the list because of socio-economic implications, thus resulting from the socio-economic analysis? Is it a frequent occurrence? What is the consultation process? How does it work? How is that kind of decision made?
