I think we are facing the relationship between our collective well-being and the environment. We also work with a lot of coastal communities in Atlantic Canada. They are seeing a lot of changes in their livelihoods and in their communities. Herb spoke about coastal erosion. That's happening all over.
When you have environmental protections in place, you have eyes and ears on the water. You have monitoring. You have science. You have management. That creates a greater sense of security for people. We can't really feel secure without the right information. We have a lot of science, but there's a lot we don't know. Particularly in the north, there is information that we really need to be able to understand what the impacts are.
