Thank you for that. I think it's an aspect that is important for us to understand and see. I can actually attest to that. Although I'm urban resident, I do live right at the edge of the city and I have fields behind me where deer are all the time. Exactly as you say, they tend to want to pick out the fields where they have the most ability to move rapidly from danger. It's a pretty easy observation even for me to make, as a non-cattle rancher in any way, shape, or form. I appreciate that insight.
I wanted to quickly ask Mr. Veasey something regarding the zoos. You talked about the education of youth, especially urban youth, which is one of my key issues as we go forward on this, and you even had a phrase for it here. You called them “environmentally illiterate”, and I think you spoke about the “nature deficit disorder” amongst our urban youth. You have been working with Parks Canada in order to educate them and, to my understanding, moving them away from just a visit to the zoo—which is great in and of itself—but out to our national parks and even to our other wonderful landscapes outside of the park setting. There are some great areas within Canada. You don't necessarily have to go to a national park to see some wonderful nature. We need to conserve that.
Can you elaborate on some of the programs you have done and the effectiveness of them, and how we can learn from them and implement them with maybe more of a nationwide strategy?
