I'll just pick up from there, Chair, if that's all right. Thanks.
It's a rare moment, as a committee member, when I feel like sliding over to your side to defend and sing the praises of this project.
My only criticism is that there are some nice pictures in your presentation, but it does no real justice to this place. It's so extraordinarily beautiful, and you should be commended for the efforts. We all like to talk about our ridings; that's why we're here. This place is easy to talk about and to celebrate and enjoy. I'm glad we're at this point where it feels that this is finally moving forward after a couple of decades.
I may have missed this in earlier testimony, so forgive me if I have, but is there something unique about the governance model that the Haida use that has enabled us to get to this point? The Haida have been quite advanced in having a self-managed and co-management governance model in place on Haida Gwaii. Has that been a helpful element to Parks Canada's approach and the government's approach? If so, does it bode well in other parts of the country where you seek to do something similar?
