Thank you.
I have a couple of questions myself.
First of all, I appreciate your passion of wanting to protect endangered species and making sure that we identify critical habitat, and I appreciate the expertise that all of you have brought to the table and the comprehensive recommendations that you're all bringing forward.
I want to follow up on what Mr. McGuinty was saying about streamlining the process, that we have this multi-layered advisory role system. I'm just looking for some direction, I guess, on how we might be able to streamline it. When we start looking at making these recommendations on how we tackle the whole process and making sure we address each and every need, but we have to go through all these different advisory boards and subcommittees, I just want to know if there's any way that we can strengthen some of the organizations, like COSEWIC, or if there is a different model that we should be looking at. And maybe, with your knowledge of what's happening internationally, there's a different way out there that we should be looking at.
So I'm open to some ideas here.
