I'll answer the second part of your question, if I may, in terms of provincial-federal work. Many of the provinces have developed their own species recovery plans and biodiversity plans. Then you can go down to the regional conservation organizations and the national ones, which also have their plans. If governments and these organizations could work more closely, you'd be eliminating a lot of duplication and expense, and also the overlapping and competing interests, as Ian pointed out.
