Sir, I agree with what you've just said, that the protection of the entire ecosystem, the entire food chain, is needed. SARA is part of that, but SARA is the last defence, we say. We say the first defence is before SARA. Make sure the habitats of all those frogs are adequately protected. That's what biodiversity conservation is. Are there adequate federal and provincial policies in place across the country at that first step so we don't have to rely on SARA?
