Yes, sir. Thank you very much for your comments.
I may still be somewhat of an idealist, but from a pragmatic point of view, I agree with you that regardless of the title of a piece of legislation or law, enforcement is required. Enforcement is a good thing. And I agree with you that while most people may have honourable intentions and may want to do what is best for nature in their backyards, there are some who don't and won't, and that's why we need that kind of enforcement, regardless of whether it's called a Species at Risk Act or not.
That does allow me to repeat my request to the federal government that resourcing be restored, for example, to the DFO cuts that have occurred throughout the Great Lakes basin of Ontario, so there can be a comprehensive approach, and we don't have to depend on SARA for the future of healthy fish and wildlife in the country.
