Thank you, Chair.
I did ask a question that didn't get answered, so I would re-pose the question to the B.C. Wildlife Federation about when governments are afraid to manage an entire tier of the ecosystem, such as what happens with the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and now we see grizzly bears and other apex predators in provinces such as British Columbia where ministers, during their announcements, say that the decision has nothing to do with science and has everything to do with emotion.
What will the long-term consequences to the rest of the food chain look like, including any negative human-wildlife conflicts that are bound to arise?
