Thank you very much.
First of all, Mr. McLean, I just want to say that I found the report that CWS put out, “The State of Canada's Birds 2012”, to be an immensely useful report. It was short on hyperbole and long on objectivity and good analysis. So could you pass on to the staff how helpful that report actually is? It's a great piece of work.
In terms of Environment Canada and Parks Canada, when I hear testimony and see the people that you always consult with, one group that is always left out is the rural communities or the neighbours of national parks. So that's just a little point that I'd like you to consider in other reports.
The term “ecosystem stability” is used all the time. I know it's very difficult to determine what ecosystem stability is, given that it's changing all the time. Ecosystems change on a constant basis. You can talk about it within national parks. How do you determine what your targets are for landscape level processes that you want to see in place?
