The socio-economic impact analysis statement is key and is a missing component in the SARA. Under the cabinet directive for streamlining regulations, Canada has to produce the SEIS and the regulatory impact analysis statement, which largely takes from that socio-economic impact analysis statement.
But if you read the latest one that came out, I think it was this past January, the government rejected the three populations of winter skate. When you read through that regulatory impact analysis statement, it's an economic statement. There's no social part in it, there's no cultural part in it. If you go to your departments, the Department of the Environment and DFO, and ask them how many social economists or whatever they have, they have economists who can tell you how much it's going to cost in landings for fish or how many jobs it's going to cost, but they can't tell you the social benefits of listing or not listing a species.
It's very tough. Internationally, there are a lot of measures to do this, though we haven't yet done it with our Species at Risk Act.
