Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all the officials for joining us today.
I have some questions regarding our obligations, but before I get to those, I wanted to ask about the inevitability of the further decline of caribou populations if the status quo and work as usual, business as usual, are permitted to continue without any oversight, changes or innovations.
The question was posed: Is this a guarantee that populations will increase? I think we all know there are no guarantees in this type of work, but there are obligations that we must do from a legal perspective, and then there is also really good science, which we must follow in order to achieve these ambitions.
My question is, what will the status quo achieve?
