It's a very complicated issue. The one I know best is for sage grouse in southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan. Sage grouse went from about 2,000 birds in Alberta, 5,000 total Canadian population in 1968, to now when we have 15 males in Alberta and fewer than that on one lake in Saskatchewan in Grasslands National Park. That decline was attributable very clearly to oil and gas development in the region and development of oil wells directly in critical habitat for the greater sage grouse on private lands as well as on crown lands in both Alberta and Saskatchewan.
There was strong pushback from the emergency protective order that went out in January 2014 to protect the greater sage grouse, the very few that we have left, and to make sure that critical habitats were being protected. The pushback from private landowners had nothing to do with their agricultural operations but rather the fact that they were receiving payments from the oil sector for having wells on their property and on crown land that they had leased. It's certainly a very complicated issue. In fact that's the first time an emergency protective order has been put in place that has had those kinds of ramifications for private landowners.
