Sure, I'd be happy to do that.
The requirement for meeting timelines on recovery plans is really essential. We're seeing an ongoing delay and lag in performance on that front. We're also seeing a tendency towards not listing species that are recommended by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. That's a concern, because unless you have a fallback of provincial governments and other interests supporting recovery strategies and funding habitat conservation activities, these species, despite their threatened status, can get lost in the wake.
Either we need to commit to listing and implementing SARA or we need the government to accommodate and facilitate those collaborative activities between other governments in those jurisdictions to really work on recovering those species. I think we would not like to see a situation in which SARA is degraded to something that seems to be more efficient and can meet its targets but doesn't actually meet the species conservation and recovery objectives that we need.
