I think it's fair for me to note that both I as an industry person and the Canadian Boreal Initiative as a collaborative of various perspectives have come today and stressed the importance of good science.
We've heard a couple of views of the current status, the current quality of understanding, the consensus that science is useful, and we believe, speaking for the industry, that we have a lot of knowledge through serious effort over many years.
It is still a challenge to forecast, to predict the future. And I'll just stress, on the aspects raised by Ms. Bell, that the biggest challenge and the thing we must emphasize most in land reclamation is protecting the surface layers from significant change. The surface materials that we place are selected through a lot of science, a lot of care, and placed as the top layer. Our emphasis must be on ensuring that those materials, which contain all the biological capability and history, are protected. We do that through monitoring the behaviours of landscapes, particularly flows of water.
In summary, I believe it is possible to have an adequate understanding of what is going on in a landscape and to have confidence that the outcome will be acceptable. I've spoken for my company, that if we didn't feel we could do it, we would have no right starting.
