Thank you.
Certainly that is Parks Canada's mandate and commitment.
One has to realize that Parks Canada, like all government agencies and departments, is doing its part to address deficit reduction. Our government isn't reducing health care transfers to provinces, as other governments have done in the past. We're not reducing social transfers to the provinces. Basically, what we're doing is resizing government. For Parks Canada, one must realize that we're trying to focus resources. Parks Canada, which is one of the best agencies in the world and a model for many countries in national parks programs, is focusing its services on the peak periods of usage. Barely 5% of those who visit Canada's national parks and historic locations actually visit during the wintertime.
You're quite right, and we're very proud of the volunteer programs that have been established in various parks across the country. Some parts of the country are more prone to volunteering than others.
