We have some concerns with respect to how some federally managed lands are being managed. For example, national wildlife areas, which are a tremendous resource, are often overlooked. Most Canadians have never even heard of them, but the Canadian Wildlife Service manages almost as much land as Parks Canada.
There are some concerns about how that land is managed. For example, Nature Canada was involved in a dispute and legal actions relating to the Suffield National Wildlife Area in Alberta. There was an application to do additional oil and gas development activity in the national wildlife area itself, on grasslands, which we've heard are threatened ecosystems.
I think we have to be much more careful about how we regulate activities on those federal lands. That's an important point. And to reinforce the point, in terms of cost-effective approaches to managing conserved lands such as national wildlife areas, the Canadian Wildlife Service operates on a shoestring budget. I mean, it's really shocking how little funds are available to manage the amount of land they have.
