At Parks Canada we have a unique perspective on the management of our sites. We have park management plans that are consulted on and then endorsed and signed by the minister. It sets the framework for what will happen in any given national park. This allows our superintendents to be active in decision-making. You don't have to be at the deputy level to have authority to make decisions. As long as the decisions are underneath the umbrella of those management plans, the superintendents have full authority to make decisions. So that's a benefit in our organization.
