To be frank, it's an issue of money, in many ways, as both Nature Canada and my colleagues at Ducks Unlimited noted in our remarks. The Green Budget Coalition recommended $10 million in this budget and $30 million in subsequent years for national wildlife areas, yet there was no money in the budget. It's difficult for the Canadian Wildlife Service to implement a plan if they're not receiving any money. Part of the investment in protected areas should be for this network.
