Mr. Nadler, go ahead, and then that's it.

Acting Chief Executive Officer, Parks Canada Agency

Michael Nadler

Sure. In fact, your observation reflects observations made by your companion committee, the environment and heritage committee, in their recent report.

We are presently doing research and assessment based on the recommendations that reflect your observation. There is a modest national cost-sharing program managed by Parks Canada, so there is some relief for communities that are managing these places. The notion of tripartite or multipartite management of these sorts of sites is a good one and we're exploring it.

Thank you all very much.

We would like to remind you, Mr. Nadler, if you don't mind, to provide us with the list of sites that may be closed for safety reasons.

Thank you all for your participation. Thank you, colleagues. I think this was another robust meeting.

The meeting is adjourned.
