Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will start with Mr. St-Laurent.
I appreciate your fairly common-sense understanding of what the realities are here. Forestry changes the forest; the logging roads change dynamics. Therefore, we have new prey. Moose and deer come in. Predation follows, and they don't care what they're eating.
My question is this: You mentioned the hundreds of studies that you've reviewed on this topic. Is there a consensus from them, or, in your view, what is the timeline that would be expected for the forest to recover to a state in which moose and/or deer no longer find it appealing—from this particular edict from the federal government and/or adding remediation efforts as well?
