Regarding the management of land inside national parks, I was very interested in this particular report, “Action on the Ground”. When I first moved to the Riding Mountain National Park area back in the late seventies, the modus operandi was to leave everything alone, to keep people out, to not do anything in there.
I'm very pleased by some of the projects that I saw in your report, like restoring the natural flows of streams, taking out culverts that block fish and putting in new culverts. They're even getting rid of the rats that have moved into some of the parks. I'm talking about the four-legged kind. I want to be clear on that.
