I think what we should do for now is we really need a Canadian discussion of this with the public. What's in the oceans belongs to all Canadians. The Supreme Court of Canada has made that very clear. It doesn't belong to industry. It doesn't belong to individuals. It belongs to Canadians. So Canadians have the stewardship responsibility to look after the oceans on a national and global basis.
One of the really good reasons for setting aside areas of the ocean from a protection perspective is simply to hedge against what we don't know, to hedge against our ignorance. There's a lot of work, and sometimes I think maybe too much work, in focusing on exactly where should we have this area or where should we have that area with sometimes the intention of helping fisheries. You're not going to help fisheries in many cases.
I think we have enough scientific information to ask Canadians if they think it's appropriate that we set aside the same percentage of our oceans that we do for our land.

In essence, is that an appropriate reflection of who we are as a society? We do have the 10% of our terrestrial land protected, and perhaps Canadians might feel the same would be appropriate for the marine realm, but we should ask them.
