I'm sorry.
Very briefly, I have no doubt that the reclamation projects are initiated. It's what we don't know about reclamation projects that I would hope the committee would take into consideration. There are many ecologists who have been examining the reclamation projects, the capacity of humans to actually put this back together and make it look all good on the surface. But what lies beneath the surface? What kind of destruction and disruption has actually taken place, and what are the impacts of that?
If you look at the studies by the Pembina Institute, in Alberta, or the Natural Resources Defence Council, and other studies, which have been done by reputable scientists in universities, I think you will find there is a great deal of question about what is possible with regard to reclamation projects. We have to keep in mind that when we rip out a fairly significant portion of the boreal forest, we are taking away a chunk of the northern lungs of the planet. What kind of irreparable damage is that actually creating for the long term?
I just want to point out that there are deeper questions that have to be probed before we can simply take at face value the obviously credible initiatives being undertaken.
