Thank you.
Mr. Lounds, I share your frustration with the way that protected land is defined. To me, a much better approach would be to assess the ecological functioning of a piece of land, regardless of whether there is some lawyerly definition of what it is. It's the ecological function that actually counts with these lands.
If we look in Canada at the state of our landscape overall, we have problem areas of course, but if we looked at intact ecological functioning, where would our measurement end up?
