It's Bill Wareham here. I could take a shot at that.
In regard to migratory birds particularly, this is where the government needs to play a large role in working with other jurisdictions at a national level. There are some initiatives like that, which are based on collaborations with Mexico and Central American governments and the U.S. government. Those places are facing similar challenges to what we are, in that the development priorities for agricultural lands and natural habitats are intense in many other areas as well, and there's a cumulative loss of habitat along their flyways. We might protect the habitat here in Canada, but if it's not protected in other critical areas throughout the flyway, we lose those species. It's important to protect the breeding grounds, the transition areas where these birds feed on migration routes, and also the wintering areas.
You need a broader scale plan. I think the federal government needs to play a more active role in engaging those other jurisdictions in active planning and priority setting around species that we see declining in the Canadian landscape.
