What I understood from what these experts said is that they wanted to give their research to the Parks Canada Agency, but there was no collaboration. Parks Canada refused to give the researchers a copy of its intervention plan, saying that everything was fine. In my opinion, there was clearly a lack of cooperation with people who had over 40 years of expertise.
I'm going to talk about another area where people would benefit from talking to each other. I'm talking about the drought monitoring map for Alberta, which is produced by the provincial government. For Jasper Park, it says “Stage 1 - Monitoring and Observation”. On the other hand, the federal government's Canadian Drought Monitor indicates abnormally dry regional conditions.
How is the reconciliation between data from provincial and federal analyses done, even though you've told me there have been links between municipal and provincial levels? Also, how often is this mapping updated?
It seems clear to me that while Alberta says it's monitoring the situation, the federal government finds regional conditions abnormally dry.
