I would say that from a broad legislative perspective and looking at policy, any particular extraction or resource development activity needs to be part of a comprehensive plan in which cumulative effects are factored in, so that includes mineral exploration, oil and gas exploration. In British Columbia, of course, we do have significant issues around that. The province has looked at issues of providing some level of accountability around chemicals that are used in shale gas exploration and reporting.
More broadly, we really do not have good harmonization between national and provincial legislation on things like cumulative effects so that we can identify priority areas that need to be set aside for conservation, where we are not going to be touching those areas because of their significance and the role they may play now and in the future as part of conservation, whether it's for species or rare ecological communities.
The short answer is yes. We do need to have shale gas and other types of resource extraction as part of a comprehensive planning process to ensure we are avoiding significant impacts in the future.
