I think it's important to remember that a disproportionate burden has fallen onto some first nations land because of lack of protection of these same species on provincial land outside first nations land. I realize that provincial land is also first nations land in many ways, but I think proper implementation of the safety net, if necessary, and ideally of adequate provincial protections on the part of provinces dealing with these species is going to take some of that disproportionate burden off first nations land and create a situation in which SARA may be more workable.
