Mr. Robert McLean at the Environment and Sustainable Development Committee

I haven't studied recent changes in the global agricultural marketplace and how that might affect decisions that individual landowners are making, but as to how they use their land, perhaps a witness could be invited who could speak more to that.

I definitely think agriculture policy can have an important impact on habitat conservation in those sectors. I mentioned that during my remarks—the importance of those sectors. I do hear discussion, for example, around environmental farm planning and the role it can play, and the best management practices that might be described in those plans.
