I must say, if the current partnership and cooperative management and co-management of Gwaii Haanas national park reserve through the archipelago management board, which has representatives from both Parks Canada and the Haida Nation, had not been as solid as it is, we would not be here today. I think I can say that.
The respect that both the Haida have shown to Parks Canada and Parks Canada has shown to the Haida is the fundamental reason we were successful in getting an agreement with the Haida Nation and with DFO. I think this brings the relationship to a new level, including the marine component, but also including our partners at DFO, who will be part of the archipelago management board.
As I mentioned earlier, it also allows us to look at western science but also seriously consider and be part of the process of traditional knowledge. I would say that this is one of the few places in the world internationally where, from the start of the process, aboriginal communities have been involved as true partners in the whole process.
