From the beginning, it has been clear that the caribou are in an enclosure to ensure that they do not disappear. The goal is to restore their environment.
We've talked a lot about the importance of coming up with a solution. We've heard that from the witnesses. All levels of government must work together to find a solution. The heartfelt plea from forestry workers was that we need to rethink the forest and ensure its sustainability, because they depend on it. Their homes, their families, their children and their future in their regions depend on forestry-related jobs. The forest is not healthy, as demonstrated by the disappearance of the caribou. This is a heartfelt plea and a wake-up call.
