Thank you.
I was the manager of the East Kootenay conservation program in my riding of Kootenay, which was looking at conservation on private land, and yes, absolutely, well-managed ranches are important contributors to conservation. I wanted to say that right up front.
My first question will be for Dr. Woodley. We've heard from a number of stakeholders that the federal government has a significant role to play when it comes to conservation leadership and fostering collaboration among key partners. In your view, what measures can government put in place to ensure that stakeholders are all on the same page and working together to reach these conservation targets? Are there models from other countries around the world that we could look to for guidance?
