Our strategy to date has been to actually look at how much habitat is protected. Whether or not it is designated under the Species at Risk Act has been an area where we have not necessarily focused. So if I use the spotted owl as an example, that was a species where we pushed for protection and there was protection at the provincial level. We did designate it, based on what we knew and understood at the time and could scientifically defend.
