I think it's just refocusing some of those same funds. If we're going to have support payments, let's tell the rural people what kinds of products, what goods and services, we want them to provide for us. I think in the polls going back a long time Canadians, rural and urban, say wildlife habitat, wildlife conservation, is a very important thing to them. So how do we pay for that? We'd rather pay those people. We need stewards on the land looking after it. It's a lot cheaper to have them looking after it than government agencies many times. You need everything from those strictly protected areas to areas that are conserved through local management with payment.
