Thank you all for being here. It's a very interesting discussion.
I think I'll start with Mr. Snook because of my past experience. I sat on the COSEWIC board. It was mentioned by Mr. Maclean, I think. That's the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. You're actually here in Ottawa with COSEWIC right now. You pulled yourself out of that meeting.
We've heard mention of SARA in here, where we have western science values, western science structures, trying to come up with whether a species is endangered or threatened.
Over the years, COSEWIC has been working on the indigenous traditional knowledge part of that. When I sat on it 20 years ago, that was in its infancy, and it was a very rough, difficult process at times.
Can you comment on where that has come after 20 years of work on it? It is a long process, as we've heard today. Can you give me an idea of where you think we are here in Canada with this kind of policy?
