Thank you.
I have one final question. In the assessment process that COSEWIC undertakes, do they look at the entire species internationally or do they look at specifically the herds that exist?
For example, there has been a lot of discussion today about woodland caribou, but what about the barren ground caribou in the north, particularly in the western Arctic and across into Alaska and Yukon? There are some concerns with migratory routes. Or you can look at how the western Hudson Bay polar bear herd is also in decline, but overall the worldwide polar bear population is static.
I'm just wondering about that. Are we going to go after the subspecies or the specific herd? Or are we looking at the bigger picture?
