I'll give you an answer as a biologist. I hope the act intentionally maintains that focus on species in Canada for the very reason that we need to make sure we're preserving biological diversity across the range of species. So certainly the species at the edge of range in Carolinian Canada have characteristics that are different from those of species that might be found throughout the U.S. And I think it really behooves us as Canadians to make sure we're protecting that biological diversity, the genetic diversity, the population diversity. There is an important role to be played in making sure we're keeping those species at risk in Canada, or keeping them off lists where we can, and then doing what we can to protect the ones that are already on the list.
SARAC overall hasn't talked about the issue of whether species prioritization should occur, so I can't speak to the committee in general, but the biological reality is that we have a responsibility to make sure we're protecting all of our diversity in Canada.
