Thank you, Chair.
I'm trying to get a grip on all of these issues, and you've brought up many important points.
Is the issue here that the act would, for example, list a species that aboriginal communities might feel should not be listed, based on traditional knowledge, and then that sometimes the reverse would happen, with a species not being listed that should be listed? Is this the core of the issue here?
I don't know whether I'm making myself clear. Is it just a one-directional issue, that we should be listing species and protecting habitat that we're not listing or protecting and that aboriginal traditional knowledge would tell us we should? Is that the issue, or does it cut both ways?
