Thank you.
I have seen a lot of Canada. I know the Canadian west almost as well as Quebec. I wonder about something. How can a single strategy work in the Prairies, Quebec and the Maritimes, when the contexts are so different?
With regard to Saskatchewan and Alberta, we are almost always talking about cultivated land. The issues are pretty straightforward. They are always about wetlands located in the migration paths of ducks, and so forth.
In Quebec, as soon as we leave a city or a village, we are nearly always on crown land. The owners or users cannot be readily identified, the way farmers are on the Prairies.
How can we develop one plan that factors in the particularities of the Prairies and the St. Lawrence Valley? As soon as there is something to conserve in the St. Lawrence Valley, we are talking about special resource land and we know it is going to be expensive. We cannot protect such land.
How do we determine different strategies, when we have different conditions?
