Thank you, Madam Chair.
The spice of life: we never know what's going to happen.
Ms. Granskou, you said a few things that I wanted to give you an opportunity to tease out. You and your organization have appeared before committee before, and one of the things I think we all appreciated is the level of effort that went into putting a partnership together. You achieved that.
One of the questions we are looking at right now is best practices for habitat conservation, and one of the themes you'll notice that's coming up in questioning with all groups is how we can maintain a working landscape. How can we acknowledge the fact that there are economic demands on our land, and how can we balance that with the need for conservation?
Could you make some brief remarks to the committee about how that partnership was put together? How did you get all these groups with disparate interests to the table in a depoliticized fashion, and what have been some of the best practices for maintaining that partnership?
