Again, just to build on what we offered in our opening statement, this death by a thousand cuts problem, as my colleague stated, is really an apt characterization of one of the greatest failings in Canada's current approach to protecting nature, to protecting biodiversity. It's literally often a case of missing the forest for the trees.
While, yes, we have these imperfect processes for assessing and mitigating damage individually, on a case-by-case basis, what we see is that one step forward in one area is undermined by several steps back somewhere else. That's the turning point that the new global biodiversity framework targets offer us. It's an opportunity to see the whole, to see how to drive progress towards an overall result. However, to get there, we need, as my fellow panellists have pointed out, clear guideposts and transparency to know how we're doing, to track our progress.
