Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I am bringing you back to part F of our study.
How could the federal government step up habitat conservation efforts in Canada? I think the fight against climate change is an essential factor in this area. Other witnesses have mentioned that we must combat climate change in order to ensure habitat conservation.
I am going back to Mr. Scarth.
Earlier we talked about climate change. My colleague Mr. Pilon talked about it. We see that the influence of early melting pack ice and predator behaviour, for example, has a negative impact on mass reproduction.
Mr. Scarth, do you believe that is mainly caused by climate change?
