It's really not a short answer. I would recommend that we convene a national discussion on this with relevant industry sectors and the conservation community, and that we really think about what might be a helpful approach.
DU has done a lot of research in the last little while into the realm of ecological goods and services, and this is basically providing the basis, or the background, for a whole variety of different incentives that could be developed. Likely, most of them would be market-based systems that would provide specific currency for a system that would provide a conservation incentive to landowners.
This will take up way too much time, if we start going into all of it, but we do need to convene a discussion. There are some good examples of incentive programs that already exist in Canada, and expanding on the ones that currently exist and building new ones is going to be really important.
