My research leads me to believe so, and that's why we suggested that the governments of Quebec and Canada bring together experts from various backgrounds in a research consortium consisting of sociologists, economists, as well as indigenous nations, caribou, forest engineering and timber supply experts to try to come up with science-based solutions to the problem.
The federal government has shown that it's open to that, as has the Quebec government's wildlife sector. The Quebec government's forestry sector has refused to support such an initiative, when it's wanted so badly and would allow us to reconcile both missions.
It must be understood that the Quebec regions differ in terms of the caribou realities, the forestry realities and the socio-economic realities of the forests. You can't have a one-size-fits-all solution. It's important to find regionally tailored solutions. You can't do that if you ignore the science. That would be very counterproductive. If we had dealt with the COVID‑19 pandemic by ignoring the science, we would still be squarely in the thick of it.
