Where do I start? I think the national parks have been underfunded for a long time and further cuts aren't going to help. A lot of monitoring programs have been curtailed. Certainly in the past we have had some of the best research and science in our national parks system, and we were leaders in the world.
I worked on CIDA projects overseas because of Canada's reputation. I see that reputation declining, and I think those kinds of cuts are leading to that loss of prestige. It's unfortunate, and I think it will affect our management capability. I think it has already started to affect our management capacity within those parks.
