To be honest, I'm not able to speak specifically to the commitment and how the processes for protecting those lands are being managed, because they're done through other departments in the federal family. However, I can say from the Natural Resources Canada perspective that we contribute to an assessment of the resource potential of the areas that are being considered for protected areas, to make sure that a natural resource—whether energy, mines or other natural resources—is considered in the decision-making processes about where those protected areas will be.
