Thank you for your comments. I agree with you entirely. That's something we have heard repeatedly during our hearings. Witnesses have highlighted the importance of taking cumulative effects into account. You added another key element, that of a more comprehensive approach, more ecosystem-based, more holistic. Other witnesses discussed that as well. You may have been the one who mentioned the importance of a holistic approach. The day before yesterday and a few weeks ago, other witnesses stressed that same point. Our national conservation plan must not disregard that aspect.
Could you elaborate on your recommendation for a national conservation plan? At the federal level, how should we develop such an approach, that is to say, more ecosystem-based, more holistic, and, if I recall correctly, more dynamic, as you put it? Could you sum up your recommendation for the committee?
