I do recall COSEWIC having discussions about providing input about possible amendments to SARA, but I have to confess that I don't recall what it is that we concluded. However, from my conversations with scientists at that time and since then, I would say that most of us are of the view that SARA is so young that the implementation has not been fully achieved at this point, and therefore the success of SARA and the potential weaknesses of SARA remain to be understood.
I think I can speak for a majority of scientists involved with SARA in stating the opinion that we don't yet know whether or not SARA will be effective because it hasn't been fully implemented to date.
