Yes. We know from experience that those people who may be most directly affected, whether they be farmers, whether they be our native people, whether they be our commercial fishermen, have a lot of intimate, hard-earned knowledge about the habits, behaviours, and habitats of those species, and they can make a valuable contribution at that listing stage for the COSEWIC committee, in our opinion.
Finally, we are part of these ecosystems. These critters, whether they are endangered or not, are going to have to live alongside us in order to succeed. They actually need us. So that would be as succinct, perhaps, as I could put our rationale for incorporating all relevant information and the relevant players at the table, at the outset.
