Certainly, Mr. Chair.
We do comment. We have a slightly different number. That may simply be due to the fact we finished our work slightly earlier than the numbers you might have. At the time in we did the work, 40% of the recovery strategies were missing critical habitat.
Certainly identifying critical habitat in some of these species is quite self-evident. In many other species, scientists don't know what that critical habitat is. That does add time to it.
On the question of whether we've looked what other countries are doing in comparable cases, we did not do that in this particular piece of work.
I think I would maybe underscore two things again. The fact that critical habitat so often isn't understood well by scientists speaks to one of those big challenges. We talk quite often in the report of the big challenges facing the people who are charged with this. That's one of them. Scientists really don't understand well how ecosystems are working. That does make it a practical difficulty when they're doing recovery strategies.
Again, I would just come back to the urgency of the situation to suggest that work does need to accelerate.
