In fact, that is not the right question. The order takes into account sectors that are currently not disturbed. The most favourable habitat for the caribou is primarily old-growth forests. These habitats are already the least disturbed possible.
The mathematical model was used by officials at Environment and Climate Change Canada. Adjustments need to be made to this model, obviously, and that is why consultations are under way. However, the fact is that the most favourable sectors for the caribou are forests that are old and as little disturbed as possible. They are the ones we need to preserve.
