Fine.
You said that scientific considerations are indeed taken into account, but mostly only during the first stage, that is, when a situation is assessed. However, with each successive stage, science seems to be taken into account to a lesser degree.
Under sections 41 and 49 of the act, which deal with the recovery plan and the action plan respectively, do you believe that there should be more independent scientific monitoring, not only during the assessment stage, but also when the recovery plans are being developed? In other words, scientific monitoring and advice must not only happen at the assessment stage, but also when the recovery plans are being developed.
The danger is that, ultimately, when the recovery plan is implemented, only economic considerations will prevail. Do you believe that sections 41 and 49 of the act should be amended to ensure independent scientific monitoring?
