The question was raised about incentives for people to be involved in conservation and sustainable use. I think the biggest incentive for Canadians and aboriginal peoples right now is political leadership, strong political leadership, to constantly be saying, “Yes, we want to develop this resource but we need to do it this way. These are the checks and balances we put in. These are the people we're inviting to the table to determine how to sustainably develop that resource and how to conserve that resource. This is how we're going to respect aboriginal and treaty rights.”
It is also important to understand that when we're talking about biodiversity, we're talking about life and all aspects of it. You follow the international arena. Mr. Ahmed Djoghlaf, the previous secretary to the Convention on Biological Diversity, was very eloquent in stating that biodiversity is all about life and we are part of life. At least, I am part of life, and I hope everybody in this room is part of life.
