I don't think I would be here today if I didn't feel like I could understand what I was saying.
I think we should be clear, first of all, that the goshawk population you're talking about has not been listed. There are provisions in SARA for it not to be listed. The federal government has that opt-out clause. It has nothing to do with COSEWIC's work on designating it as being endangered or not, so I'm not quite sure why you're pointing to this as a problem.
