Good morning, everyone.
Ms. Copland, I have read your report. One part of it, in particular, has drawn my attention because it resonates with the reality of my community, which is located on the 52nd parallel.
I will quote in French—so we are talking about a translation—a passage from your brief regarding past land development. I would like you to put all of this into context and provide us with some concrete examples. The following is stated in your brief:
Many who have experienced resource-based development in their community know that, eventually, it leaves, and they will not trade what is necessary to sustain and protect their ability to live off their land and waters for economic development.
Could you provide us with some examples of such development in the past?
