I'll begin. Thank you for the questions. It's a two-part question with respect to current legislative changes.
I do envisage a weakening of environmentally based legislation. Thus, from a national conservation plan side of things, I would be concerned in terms of the degree to which, whatever objectives and aspirational qualities are part of such a plan, it might reduce our ability for it to have the accountability element—and indeed, the enforceability element—associated with a national conservation plan.
With respect to climate change, from an oceanic perspective Canada has the longest coastline in the world. We probably have the largest seas in the world—estimated at about 7.1 million square kilometres—so we do indeed have this international real estate stewardship issue. I think it would be extremely important, nationally and internationally, for Canada to take leadership on climate change issues.
One of the key ways in which that fits into a national conservation plan is in one of the priorities I suggested, and that is to make a commitment to rebuild depleted populations, species, and degraded ecosystems. That is probably the only thing we will be able to do as a people and as a country in order to combat or allow ecosystems to respond and adapt to climate change, to have healthy ecosystems. It is not just good from a biodiversity perspective, but it's good from a social and economic perspective as well.
