Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I listened intently to the excellent presentations. I was struck by a general sense that the federal government is absent the superstructure, shall we say, of pest management in this day and age. Yes, when an emergency hits, sure enough we can go to the Minister of Public Safety and ask for intervention. We have the government operations centre, which organized the efforts in Fort McMurray and in British Columbia this summer.
From your perspective, given the state of play in your jurisdiction, you don't see the federal government playing any overarching command-and-control mechanism, overarching direction, as to where we should be dealing with pests and co-management principles, is that correct?
